Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Crispy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and brush the skin-side of each piece with olive oil. Place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in a single layer on a plate.
• Combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl and sprinkle half the seasoning mixture evenly over the 4 chicken thighs. Turn thighs over and evenly sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture on top. Place chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin-side up.
• Fry in the preheated air fryer until chicken is brown and juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Generously season the chicken thighs with salt on both sides, including under the skin.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning.
• Add chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Let the chicken come to room temperature before cooking.
• Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Lightly spray with cooking spray or rub with a bit of olive oil.
• Add the chicken thighs (as many as will fit) to the air fryer, skin-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook 5 -7 minutes more, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Repeat with the remaining chicken thighs, if needed.
• Garnish with herbs of choice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the paprika in a bowl with the herbs and garlic granules, if using, together with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Scatter onto a plate. Rub the chicken thighs with the oil, then coat in the spice mix.
• Put in the basket of your air fryer and cook, skin-side down, for 10 mins at 180C. Turn over and cook for a further 10-15 mins until cooked through and the skin is crispy. To check they are cooked, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a knife to see if the juices run clear. Remove from the air fryer immediately to stop the skin from softening.

Steps:

• Preheat air-fryer to 375°. Brush chicken with oil. Combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over chicken. Place chicken, skin side up, in a single layer on tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175°, 15-17 minutes.
