Yield
Ingredients
8 ingredients- 5 chicken thighs (skin-on bone-in)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (alternatively dried rosemary or Italian-style seasoning)
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
Method
6 steps- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- Add the 5 chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade and toss thoroughly until each thigh is coated. Optionally, you can cover the bowl and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. This step is not mandatory, but recommended.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes or until it indicates that it is preheated.
- Arrange the thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, with the skin side facing down. Air fry them at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
- Flip the thighs over and air fry them for another 10 minutes or until cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The exact cooking time can vary depending on the size of the chicken thighs, whether they have skin, and your air fryer.
- Remove the cooked chicken thighs from the air fryer and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes. Then serve them warm. They go well with garlic sauce or tzatziki sauce.
