Instructions
1
Prep
Cut the chicken thigh into 3–4 pieces. Mince the garlic and roughly chop the cilantro. Combine chicken, fish sauce, minced garlic, white pepper, and turmeric; mix until coated.
2
Marinate
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes so flavors penetrate the meat.
3
Fry
Brush the air-fryer basket with vegetable oil, arrange chicken in a single layer without touching, and air-fry at 400°F (200°C) for 16–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and the thickest piece reaches 165°F (74°C).
4
Plate
Scatter cilantro and squeeze lime wedge over the chicken. Arrange on a plate beside jasmine rice with sriracha in a small dish for dipping.
