Whole recipe (4 servings): 1140 kcal

  • 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
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper.
  3. Toss until the chicken thighs are evenly coated.
  4. 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.
  5. Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 15–17 minutes, flipping the thighs halfway through.
  6. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the chicken during the final 2 minutes of cooking.
  7. Check that the thickest part of each thigh has reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
  8. Rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
