Method

1

In una ciotola capiente, mescola l'olio d'oliva, il miele, l'aglio, il sale, il cumino, la paprika, l'origano e il pepe.

2

Aggiungi le cosce di pollo e mescola bene per ricoprirle uniformemente con la marinata.

3

Prepara la friggitrice ad aria, ungendo leggermente il cestello con un po' d'olio d'oliva.

4

Disponi le cosce di pollo nel cestello, sistemandole in modo che non si sovrappongano.

5

Cuoci a 200°C per 20-25 minuti, girando le cosce a metà cottura per una doratura uniforme.

6

Nel frattempo, prepara la crema: frulla gli spinaci, lo yogurt greco, il coriandolo, il jalapeño, il succo di lime, l'aglio, il sale e il pepe fino ad ottenere una salsa liscia.

7

Servi le cosce di pollo calde, guarnite con la crema verde.
