Equipment
Ingredients
- 4-5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 teaspoons seasoning blend lemon pepper, bbq seasoning, or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400º.
- Season the chicken with your favorite blend or salt/pepper mix. You can also air fryer marinated chicken thighs.
- Place the chicken into the basket to allow as much air flow around each piece as possible. I can fit 4-5 pieces in my air fryer. Do not overlap the chicken.
- Cook for 11-17 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking. Smaller pieces will cook in as little ast 10-12 minutes, while larger pieces can take up to 20. Always check the temperature of your chicken in the thickest portion. It should register a minimum of 165º for safely cooked chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest 2-4 minutes and serve.
Notes
I do not add extra oil or grease to my chicken thighs, as they already have a lot of fat in the cut of meat itself. I don't find that I need it for flavor or for appearance. You may spritz or brush your chicken with some extra virgin olive oil before cooking and seasoning, if you desire.
