Air frying chicken thighs typically takes around 20-25 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the size of the chicken thighs and the specific model of the air fryer being used. It is important to preheat the air fryer before placing the chicken thighs inside to ensure even cooking.
To air fry chicken thighs, start by seasoning the thighs with your favorite spices and marinades. Preheat the air fryer to the recommended temperature (usually around 400°F). Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook the chicken thighs for about 10 minutes, then flip them over and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Once the chicken thighs are cooked through and crispy on the outside, carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This cooking method is a healthier alternative to deep frying and results in juicy, flavorful chicken thighs that are perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
