Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp italian herb seasoning blend
- 1 tsp celtic sea salt
- 1 tsp Fresh cracked pepper
- 1 lemon sliced thin
Instructions
- Add all ingredients - except sliced lemon - to bowl or bag, toss to coat chicken.
- Let marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.
- Remove chicken and let any excess oil drip off (does not need to be dried, just not dripping with tons of excess oil.)
- Set air fryer to 350-400 degrees (as high as your air fryer will go) and preheat for 10 minutes.
- Arrange chicken thighs and lemon slices in air fryer basket, taking care to not push chicken thighs too close to each other.
- Cook at 350 or 400 (again, as high as you can), for 8 minutes.
- Remove fryer basket and flip chicken thighs to other side.
- Cook again at 350 for another 6 minutes - gauge temperature, and continue to air fry until reaching 165 degrees internal temperature.
- Chicken thighs will be crispy, with clear juices, and reach 165 degrees internal temperature when checked with a digital thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh.
- Serve and enjoy!
