Simple cooking method. The air fryer might just be the easiest way to cook chicken. I use it to make everything from chicken tenders to popcorn chicken and the juiciest crispy chicken thighs. It’s quick, mess-free, and practically foolproof. Perfectly seasoned. All you need is 5 ingredients (plus salt and pepper) to make an easy chicken seasoning. The flavors are garlicky, smoky, and delicious. So crispy. These boneless chicken thighs crisp up beautifully in the air fryer. The high heat circulates as they cook, browning the outside into a golden crust while the inside of the chicken stays juicy.
Chicken Thighs – I use boneless, skin-on chicken thighs. If you use bone-in chicken thighs, you’ll need to increase the cooking time. Olive Oil – Or your choice of cooking oil. Seasonings – I season my chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika (sweet or smoked), salt, and pepper. Feel free to use your favorite chicken seasoning blend, either homemade or store-bought.
