- paprika — 1 ½ tsp3.8 g
- dried oregano — 1 tsp1 g
- garlic powder0.5 tsp
- onion powder0.5 tsp

Method
- Optional: trim off the chunkier strips of fat from the edges of the chicken thighs.
- Toss the chicken thighs with the spices, a few cracks of black pepper and the olive oil. For the best flavour, marinate from 15 minutes up to 2-3 hours in the fridge (fine to skip if you're short on time).
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 11-13 minutes, until deeply golden and a bit crisp outside and at least 165°F (74°C) inside.
- Transfer to a cutting board, rest for a few minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze lemon over the top.
- Serve with your favourite sauce, a baked potato or roasted veggies, in a rice bowl or on a salad.
