Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs bone in, skin on chicken thighs (about 5-6 thighs)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon homemade chicken seasoning
Instructions
- If your air fryer recommends preheating, preheat to 375 degrees. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
- Pat the chicken dry then lightly brush with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. You only need enough oil for the seasoning to stick.
- Rub the seasoning on all sides of the chicken.
- Place the chicken in the air fryer in a single layer, making sure there is room on all sides of the chicken for air to circulate. Air fry the chicken for 10 minutes, then flip and fry an additional 6-8 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the meat reads 165 degrees. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs, if needed.
Notes
- This recipe has been tested in the Ninja AF 100 4 Qt. Air Fryer, which holds 4 chicken thighs. We have now upgraded to this Cuisinart Air Fryer/Toaster Oven, and we've also tested the recipe in this. We prefer the Cuisinart because of it's larger capacity. It can fit 6-7 thighs easily!
- If you prefer not to make the homemade chicken seasoning, plain old Kosher salt and pepper will still make super delicious air fried chicken! If you have them, add a sprinkle of garlic powder and smoked paprika.
- This recipe also works great for chicken drumsticks and wings!
