I made mine in my hot air fryer. Just follow the directions as in the recipe, but then, place the thighs in a small baking pan and give them a couple spritzes of vegetable oil from a spray can or dispenser. Cook at 375 for about 4 minutes, flip, add the lemon juice mixture, continue air frying at 325 for 8 minutes at 350. When converting a regular recipe to an air fryer, stay as close to the temperature setting in the recipe as possible, but cut the cook time by about 50%.

Yum!
I actually had all the ingredients (which never happens- I'm always adapting recipes to what I have on hand) and followed directions. It was easy, and delicious with a quick lo mein with vegies.
