Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Recipe

Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 385

Ingredients
  

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2.5 lb / 1.1 kg)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Handful fresh parsley, chopped, for serving

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken thighs completely dry. Toss with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if needed. Arrange thighs skin side down in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip thighs, then cook until internal temperature reaches 175°F (79°C), about 8 to 10 minutes more.
  3. Transfer thighs to a plate and rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for those 5 minutes before you serve it. That short pause keeps the juices from running all over the plate when you take the first bite.
