Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Meat thermometer
  • Medium sized mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Kitchen tong

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pcs. boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ tbsp. salt
  • ⅓ tbsp. black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. paprika
  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp. onion powder

Instructions

  • Using a paper towel, pat the chicken thighs dry.
  • Rub olive oil on the chicken thighs.
  • Season your chicken thighs with the above seasoning mix.
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you’re short on time, 10 minutes will also do.
  • Transfer the boneless skinless chicken thighs into your air fryer, in a single layer.
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes, while keeping an eye on your meat thermometer.
  • Using a kitchen tong, flip the chicken thighs over.
  • Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes on the other side.

Notes

  • Focus on the temperature — Ideally, as mentioned above, you should air fry boneless skinless chicken thighs for between 15-20 minutes. What is more important is to focus on temperature and not time. You should air fry your chicken thighs until the temperature reaches 165 degrees, which you’ll be observing via your meat thermometer.
 
  • Use fresh — Frozen chicken not only takes longer to air fry, but it also just won’t taste the same as fresh chicken thighs. However, if you’ve opted for frozen chicken thighs, the good part is that you don’t need to defrost them ahead of time.
