Air fryer chicken thighs are a delightful way to enjoy tender, juicy meat with a crispy exterior, all while keeping the cooking process quick and easy. To prepare marinated thighs, begin by combining your choice of herbs and spices with a splash of olive oil, lemon juice, and perhaps a touch of garlic. Allow the chicken to soak up the flavours for at least an hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
Once marinated, preheat your air fryer to around 200°C. Arrange the thighs in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation. Cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through for an even golden-brown finish. The result is perfectly cooked chicken thighs, bursting with flavour and almost no added fat. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables for a wholesome meal that’s sure to impress.
