If your air fryer is smaller you would need to cook these in batches.Īfter the chicken thighs cook skin side down, we can flip them over and continue to cook them until the skin is nice and crispy and the internal temperature is 165F. My Air fryer has a 6 quart basket so 4 chicken thighs fit perfectly. I also do this with my Air fryer whole chicken recipe. I do this so the skin can start to render the fat without browning the skin too much. Now we can place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket skin side down.

Then I mix the chicken thighs with all of the seasonings. I make sure the chicken thighs are patted dry and any excess skin is cut away. I do this only when I want my food to be really crispy. I start by pre-heating the air fryer before I spray with cooking spray. I love to make burgers, pork tenderloin, crispy pork chops, and even crispy Brussels sprouts. Personally, I think the air fryer is the best invention besides a home coffee maker. Cooks quickly thanks to the air fryer - These take about 25 minutes in the air fryer.which is great!.Just 5 ingredients - chicken thighs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, and onions powder (plus salt and pepper but those don't count!).

This is the perfect way to cook chicken thighs for that extra crispy skin and no need to heat up the oven. Pull those bone in, skin on chicken thighs out of the refrigerator and make these air fryer crispy chicken thighs tonight! In under 30 minutes you will have a delicious family friendly dinner.
