- Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes (optional for more flavor).
- Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken in a single layer and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (200°C). Lay the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned and fully cooked. Broil at the last 3 minutes to get a nice brown skin.

Notes
Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes to intensify the flavors. Air fry skin side down first then flip for crispy skin. Ensure chicken is in a single layer for even cooking.
