Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Ingredients
– Chicken thighs: Get chicken thighs with bone and skin on. You can use boneless and skinless if you prefer, but the meat will not be as juicy.
– Olive oil: You can use olive oil or coconut oil for this recipe.
– Garlic powder: I like to use garlic powder in this recipe because fresh garlic tends to crisp up too much or burn.
– Onion powder: Onion powder is dehydrated garlic flakes. It’s a wonderful way to add flavor without having to chop or crush fresh Onion.
– Paprika: Paprika adds depth of flavor to this recipe and also a beautiful color. You can use any paprika you like, such a sweet paprika or smoked paprika.
– Italian seasoning: This is a blend of dried herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil. It gives the chicken a wonderful flavor.
– Salt and pepper: Freshly ground salt and pepper.
A very simple spice mix of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper is all you need for these chicken thighs.
The chicken thighs are first rubbed all over with olive oil and then generously seasoned with the spice mix.
Cooking chicken thighs in the air fryer is easy.
The chicken comes out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake them in the oven or fry them.
Note: The chicken thighs must be at room temperature when you put them into the air fryer basket.
This ensures even cooking, juicy in the inside and super crispy skin.
