Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Description
After trimming excess fat and gristle, the chicken thighs are seasoned uniformly with garlic parsley salt and paprika, which enhance the meat with savory, herbal, and mild smoky notes. Arranging the thighs skin-side up in the air fryer basket allows the heat to crisp the skin evenly.
Cooking at 380°F for about 25 minutes ensures the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, which is safe and results in tender meat. The total cooking time varies with the size and thickness of the thighs. The air fryer technique cooks the chicken quickly while keeping moisture inside and creating a golden exterior.
This approach is practical for those seeking a hands-off way to cook flavorful chicken thighs without deep frying or oven baking. The seasoning is straightforward but effective to complement the natural flavor of the poultry.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs bone-in (or boneless)
- 2 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 tbsp paprika
Instructions
- Trim off any excess fat and gristle from your chicken. Season the chicken with garlic parsley salt and paprika.
- Place the chicken thighs into the air fryer basket with the skin-side facing up.
- Air fry the chicken at 380°F for about 25 minutes. Be aware that the cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your thighs. The internal temperature of the cooked chicken should read 165°F.
