Key ingredients
pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, grated parmesan cheese.
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
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Then, add them to a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the chicken thighs.
- Mix to evenly coat the chicken thighs in the seasonings.
- 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.
- Air fry the boneless skinless chicken thighs at 400°F for 15-17 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- 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.
- 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.
