Easy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

🧂 Ingredients

• 22.5 oz chicken thighs

  with skin on (4 medium)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning

  or juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder

  (optional)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF/200ºC if needed. Spray the basket with cooking
  spray. 
• 2 Pat dry the thighs with kitchen paper and remove any extra skin if preferred.
  Cover the chicken with the spices and oil and rub well to completely coat it.
  
  Then place the chicken thighs skin side down in the air fryer basket.
• 3 Cook for 25 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC. After the first 15 minutes, flip the chicken
  and cook for about 10 minutes more. If you want very crispy skin, cook the
  chicken for a few minutes extra.
  
  The exact cooking time of the air fryer chicken thighs could vary based on the
  size of the thighs. It's best to check for doneness using a thermometer. Once
  fully cooked, the internal temperature at the thickest part should be
  165ºF/74ºC.
• 4 Store: Keep the cooked chicken thighs in an airtight container in the
  refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  
  Reheat: You can reheat them in the air fryer for about 5 minutes.
  
  Freeze: Let the chicken thighs cool completely before freezing. Arrange them on
  a baking sheet so they're not touching. Place in the freezer for at least 2
  hours to flash freeze them, then place in a freezer-safe bag and store for up to
  3 months.
