Servings: 6
Calories: 96kcal
Ingredients
- 6 boneless skin-on chicken thighs please see notes for bone-in or skinless
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons fresh cracked pepper
- 2 teaspoons celtic sea salt I prefer maldon
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees (or as high as your air fryer will go.)
- In a small bowl, add oil, herbs, and spices, mix well.
- Drizzle over chicken thighs, toss to coat.
- Chicken can be marinated overnight, but this is optional.
- Add chicken thighs to air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 400 for 8 minutes.
- Flip thighs, cook another 8 minutes.
- Using a digital thermometer, probe the thickest part of the chicken thigh's meat, taking care to not hit the bone.
- You will likely need to flip chicken thighs once more and cook an additional 4-6 minutes to reach 165 internal temperature, but be sure to go off your thermometer, not the cooking time on your air fryer!
- If you used skin-on chicken, and your chicken skin is not crispy, crunchy, and golden brown, pop directly under your air fryer's broiler or your oven's broiler to crisp for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from air fryer, and let sit for at least five minutes before serving.
Notes
To cook chicken thighs with bone-in, you may need to add an additional 2-4 minutes to cook time. Please watch internal temperature and be sure to not get thermometer too close to chicken bone to get an accurate reading.
