Make THE BEST bone-in chicken thighs that are incredibly juicy inside and crispy outside with this easy recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Thighs! Using just 4 ingredients, including my famous Chicken Seasoning, will give you perfectly cooked, flavorful chicken thighs in less than 30 minutes!

Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs approximately 2 pounds
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning click link for the recipe
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 400°F.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then add them to a large bowl. Pour the lemon juice and olive oil over the thighs and toss until they’re coated.
- Sprinkle the chicken seasoning over the thighs and toss to coat them in the seasoning.
- Place the chicken thighs in an air fryer, skin side down, and not overlapping. I made this recipe in a 5.8 quart Cosori air fryer and it fit four bone-in chicken thighs perfectly. If your air fryer is smaller, you might have to cook the chicken in batches.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes. Flip and cook, skin side up, for another 10-12 minutes, or until the thickest part of the thigh (not touching bone) reaches 160°F.
- Rest the thighs for 5 minutes before serving. The internal temperature of the chicken will continue to rise 5-10 degrees after you remove the chicken from the air fryer.
Notes
- For flavor variations to make Italian, Mexican or BBQ seasoned chicken thighs, refer to the blog post above.
- If you want to make this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, reduce the cook time to 6-8 minutes per side. Boneless chicken thighs tend to be smaller than bone-in chicken thighs, so they will cook quicker. You always want to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs. Only remove them from the air fryer once they’ve reached 160-165°F internally.
- If using frozen bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, you can cook them straight from the freezer, but you will need to increase the cook time to 15 minutes per side. Use a thermometer to make sure they’ve reached an internal temperature between 160-165°F before removing them from the air fryer.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free, dairy free and low carb. It’s perfect for those on a keto diet, as each cooked chicken thigh contains less than 2 net carbs.
- Leftover cooked chicken thighs should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I recommend reheating them with the skin side up in an air fryer for 2-3 minutes. This will reheat the meat throughout and re-crisp up the skin.
