  • 1 large lemon juiced (2 tbsp)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp paprika

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F or your air fryer to 375°F.
  2. Rinse and pat dry your chicken pieces. Transfer to a ziploc bag.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, spices, salt and pepper to taste and grated parmesan. Whisk together. Transfer 3/4 of this mixture to the ziploc bag and close the bag. Swoosh the chicken around to coat in the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. Take the remaining 1/4 marinade, store it in your fridge for serving (after the chicken is cooked). This reserved marinade is not to touch the raw chicken.
