Materials
- Bowl
- Kitchen brush
- Air fryer (we used the COSORI Turbo Tower Pro Smart 10.8L)
Preparation
Step 1:
Brush the chicken thigh with extra virgin olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper, making sure to evenly cover the entire surface. Alternatively, if you do not have a kitchen brush, massage the meat well with your hands to let the flavors penetrate better and achieve a more even marinade.
Step 2:
Wash the zucchini and bell pepper, then cut the zucchini into cubes and the bell pepper into thin strips. Gather the vegetables in a bowl, season with a little oil, salt and pepper, then mix well.
Step 3:
Place the chicken in one basket of the air fryer and bake in Bake mode at 390°F/200°C for 16 minutes. Arrange the vegetables in the other basket and set the Roast mode to 370°F/190°C for 10 minutes.
Step 4:
If your air fryer allows it, use the Sync function to have the chicken and vegetables finish cooking at the same time.
Step 5:
Chicken with peppers and zucchini in air fryer is ready!
