Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs
Description
The Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs recipe uses a marinade combining honey, soy sauce, lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, curry powder, coriander, salt, and pepper with a neutral cooking oil. After marinating for at least 30 minutes, the chicken is air fried at 380°F for 14-15 minutes, flipping halfway, to develop a well-coated, flavorful crust and tender meat inside.
The preparation results in juicy chicken with a slight sweetness and subtle spice notes from the curry and coriander. The air fryer method reduces the need for excess oil while still producing a pleasantly textured exterior.
This dish can be served immediately alongside your chosen sauce, pairing well with rice, vegetables, or salad for a balanced meal.
Chicken can be marinated up to a day ahead, refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or frozen for 4-5 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for 5 minutes or use a microwave for convenience.
Ingredients
