1. Preparation:

• If not using pre-seasoned chicken, mix your shawarma spices in a bowl and rub evenly onto the chicken thighs.
• Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

2. Seasoning:

• Lightly spray the chicken thighs with olive oil spray to help the skin crisp up. If you’ve added fresh garlic, make sure it’s evenly distributed.

3. Cooking:

• Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer to ensure proper air circulation.
• Cook for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping and cooking.

4. Checking Doneness:

• The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the outside is beautifully crispy.

5. Serving:

• Garnish the shawarma chicken thighs with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
