Description
Air fryer boneless chicken thighs are a quick and easy dinner you can have ready in about 15 minutes for the best crispy, juicy chicken thighs without the use of any oil!
Ingredients
Scale
- 5-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken thighs: Place the chicken on the counter for 10-15 minutes before cooking if it is straight out of the refrigerator. Then use a sharp knife and cutting board to cut off any excess fat. Pat each piece of chicken dry with a clean paper towel and place it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Season: Mix up the seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper) in a small bowl. Add the seasoning to the chicken and toss to coat it all in the seasoning.
- Cook: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking or use an air fryer liner. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer into the air fryer and cook for 15-17 minutes, flipping the chicken over halfway through the cooking time. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165° F.
- Serve. Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the air fryer, let it rest for a few minutes then serve it with your favorite sides. I love to top it with a squeeze of fresh lemon and some chopped parsley.
Notes
- Dry the chicken before you season it and cook it so it gets nice and golden when you air fry it. This also helps the seasoning stick to the chicken better.
- Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165° F.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350° F for a few minutes or in the microwave until warmed through.
