Easy Grilled Chicken Thighs in Air Fryer
These juicy, crispy chicken thighs are not only super simple but also incredibly flavorful, making them a win-win for any mealtime situation.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
- 7-8 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika sweet
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, and olive oil over the chicken thighs.
- Using your hands or a pair of tongs, mix the seasoning and olive oil thoroughly, ensuring that each chicken thigh is evenly coated.
- Now, it's time to fire up that air fryer! Preheat it to 390°F (or approximately 200°C). This step ensures that your chicken thighs will cook evenly and become wonderfully crispy.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully place the seasoned chicken thighs inside in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket to allow proper air circulation.
- Cook the chicken thighs for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully flip them over using tongs to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Continue frying for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken thighs are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once your chicken thighs are perfectly cooked, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter. Pair them with your favorite sides—I recommend creamy mashed potatoes and a medley of roasted veggies for a complete and satisfying meal!
Notes
Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for proper circulation. This will give you the crispy, juicy chicken thighs you'll love!
