Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

This recipe never disappoints. The herb rub along with the cripsy thighs make it a winner for a week night meal. Its simple, inexpensive, and delicious.

Because I make this so frequently, I like to make a big batch of the herb rub to keep ready to go in my spice rack.

Ingredients

  • 4-6 chicken thighs bone in
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp coarse black pepper
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F 

  2. Pat chicken thighs dry and place on a dish.

  3. Combine all the herbs for the rub in a small dish.

  4. Massage the spice blend over the tops and bottoms of the chicken thighs.

  5. Cook in Airfryer 18-22 minutes. Rotate halfway through.

Recipe Notes

Depending on how many thighs you make, you may need to double up on the spice blend.

If using a conventional oven just bake chicken at 375°F for 45-60 minutes.  In this case, I like to use a baking grid on top of a cookie sheet.  

This recipe may look super basic - but the combo of the herbs with the crispy chicken = perfection! 

Enjoy.
