- Olive oil (Amount unspecified; use for the salad and chicken.)
- 1 Lemon (Zest onto the chicken; use the juice in the dressing.)
- 2 Celery (A couple of sticks; roughly chopped.)
- 10 g Parsley (Finely sliced; use three-quarters in the salad and reserve the rest for garnish.)
- 1 Red pepper (Roughly chopped.)
- Cherry tomatoes (1 packet; packet size unspecified. Roughly chop.)
- 1 Red onion (Amount unspecified; roughly chop.)
- 10 g Basil (Finely sliced; use three-quarters in the salad and reserve the rest for garnish.)
- 3 Chicken thighs (Roast with skin; reserve the crispy skin for topping and the chicken jus/fat for dressing.)
- Sourdough bread (Stale bread for chunky croutons; olive bread is suggested. Cut into chunks.)
- Vinegar (A splash, added to the chopped salad vegetables.)
- Salt (Pinch for the salad; also season the chicken to taste.)

Steps
- 1
Cut the stale sourdough into chunky pieces. Air-fry the bread until crisp; no temperature or duration is specified in the source.
- 2
Roughly chop the celery, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, and red onion. Put them in a bowl with the olives, then add a splash of vinegar and olive oil.
- 3
Season the chicken thighs with lemon zest, a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Roast until golden brown and cooked through; the source does not state an oven temperature or cooking time.
- 4
Let the chicken rest. Reserve the chicken jus and fat, and keep the skin crisp for topping.
- 5
Finely slice the basil, parsley, and mint. Add about three-quarters of the herbs and the crispy sourdough to the salad vegetables; add a pinch of salt.
- 6
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice or chop the meat and add it to the salad. Keep the crispy skin aside for garnish.
- 7
Make a dressing with the mustard, lemon juice, and reserved chicken fat. Toss it through the salad.
- 8
Plate the salad and garnish with the remaining chopped herbs and crispy chicken skin.
Notes
Packet sizes, amounts of several ingredients, and the air-fryer and roasting times/temperatures are not specified. The source does not explain exactly how the skin is crisped separately; retain the skin as a topping as stated in the title and audio.
