Instructions

    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes.

  • Optionally, spray the chicken skin with a small amount of oil to achieve crispy skin. 
  • Leave space between the pieces of chicken in air fryer so the hot air can circulate. 
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.
  • Begin by placing the chicken in air fryer skin side down and finish with the chicken skin side up.
  • Flip the air fryer chicken thighs halfway through cooking. 
  • If adding any sauces, brush them on the chicken thighs 1-2 minutes before the end of the air fryer cooking time. 
  • Air fryer cooking times are approximate and should be adjusted based on the size of your chicken and the model of air fryer. This post is meant to serve as a guide.
  • Don’t reheat fried chicken in air fryer more than once or it will dry out.
