Chicken Thighs: I used bone-in chicken thighs with the skin on. If you use boneless thighs, you’ll need to reduce the cooking time. Once they reach 165°F with a meat thermometer, they’re done.
Lemon: Squeeze the juice from half a lemon.
Spices: Salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, sweet paprika, and dried herbs, like herbs de Provence
How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Season Chicken: Squeeze lemon juice over the thighs. Next, sprinkle them with all the spices and rub them in.
Air fry the chicken thighs at 400°F for 24 minutes, flipping them over halfway. If all six won’t fit in the machine at the same time, cook the chicken in batches.
