Ingredients: 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs; 2 teaspoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning; ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, minced; ½ teaspoon onion powder; ½ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon black pepper; ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional); Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Method

8 steps

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper.
Toss until the chicken thighs are evenly coated.
Arrange the chicken in the air-fryer basket in a single layer. Use a perforated parchment liner if desired, ensuring it is held down by the food.
Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 15–17 minutes, flipping the thighs halfway through.
Sprinkle the Parmesan over the chicken during the final 2 minutes of cooking.
Check that the thickest part of each thigh has reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
