- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon vinegar

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
- First, you put the chicken thighs in a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and a little salt, then squeeze well
- Then, you wash the chicken thighs thoroughly with water, drain or pat dry.
- With dried onions, you peel, wash, and mince.
Step 2: Marinate Spices

- Then you rub the seasoning mixture evenly on the chicken thighs. You should use a knife to poke a bit into the chicken thighs for the seasoning to penetrate better. Place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Step 3: Bake Honey Chicken Thighs
- When the marinating time is up, put the chicken in an oil-free fryer.
- Line the bottom of the pot with a sheet of foil and spread the chicken wings evenly on top. Save the chicken wing marinade for extra spread.
- Adjust the roasting temperature of the chicken with the air fryer from 160 degrees Celsius to 200 degrees Celsius depending on the size of the chicken thighs.
