Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
2 lbs. chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on (about 4 pieces)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions**
Start by placing the chicken thighs in a large Ziploc bag or bowl. Add the oil and all the seasonings, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, then let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour. For the best results, marinate overnight to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin-side up, to ensure even cooking. Cook for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful. Pair it with your favorite sides, and enjoy a meal that’s both satisfying and easy to prepare
