Season the ChickenTrim the fat off the chicken thighs if you want (I do). Toss the chicken thighs with soy sauce, oil, and garlic. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and give it a quick mix. |

Cook the ChickenPlace the chicken in the basket of an air fryer (alternate cooking instructions in the notes). Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes – at this point it should be very crusty, golden, juicy, and delicious. |

Make the SauceWhile the chicken is cooking, blitz up the sauce in a small food processor or blender. If it’s too thick, add more water. If it’s too thin, add a bit more avocado or mayo. |
