Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 minced garlic cloves)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Method

1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Then, add them to a large bowl.
2. Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the chicken thighs.
3. Mix to evenly coat the chicken thighs in the seasonings.
4. Place a parchment paper liner in your air fryer for easy cleanup. After that, add the seasoned chicken thighs to the air fryer basket in a single layer, to avoid overcrowding.
5. Air fry the boneless skinless chicken thighs at 400°F for 15-17 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the chicken thighs during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
7. Once done, carefully remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
