Key ingredients
boneless, skinless chicken thighs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, minced, onion powder, grated Parmesan cheese.
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
- 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.

- Rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
