Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (I've been using a fine-grained table salt for this)
- a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- squeeze of lemon to finish
Instructions
- 1
Optional, but I usually cut off the little bits of fat (the chunkier white strips) from the edges of the chicken thighs.
- 2
Toss the chicken thighs with the spices and olive oil. For the best flavor, let it marinate anywhere from 15 minutes to 2-3 hours in the fridge. (Also fine to skip if you're short on time!)
- 3
Air fry at 375°F for 11-13 minutes, until deeply golden and a bit crisped on the outside, and at least 165°F on the inside. (I use a meat thermometer to check!)
12 min - 4
Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let it rest for a few minutes; cut into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze lemon over the top if you want.

Serve with your favorite sauce (see notes for a smoky aioli that I love), baked potato or roasted veggies, in a rice bowl, or on a salad!
