Add oil and all seasoning. Seal the bag and shake well. Press the air out of the bag and make sure it\u2019s tightly sealed. Press the seasoning around the chicken to coat (You can also marinate it in a bowl covered with plastic cling wrap). Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 375F, about 5 minutes. Place the thighs (skin side up) in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 25-28 minutes until the skin turns crispy and golden brown to your desired level of crispiness. The internal temperature for the chicken should reach 165F as read on a meat thermometer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Serve immediately with your favorite side dish or veggies like Mashed Potatoes, Air Fryer Garlic Green Beans, or Air Fryer Broccoli.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span id=\"NOTES\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NOTES<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Don\u2019t overcrowd your air fryer:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If your air fryer is on the smaller side, you\u2019ll need to cook your chicken thighs in batches. Overcrowding your air fryer will make it impossible for the skin on your chicken thighs to get crispy and delicious. Trust me, it\u2019s worth the wait<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to bake in the oven<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: Preheat the oven to 400F. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a quarter sheet baking pan and bake for 35 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F as read on a meat thermometer. Turn over once halfway through baking. Optionally, turn the broiler on high and cook for another 2-3 minutes until nicely charred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to grill chicken thighs:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Preheat the grill to 350 F over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side until nicely charred and the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F as read on a meat thermometer. Flip occasionally to avoid overcooking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to store:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Make sure to let the air fryer chicken thighs cool to room temperature before storing. This helps keep the crispy skin crispy. Place them in an airtight container or wrap them in aluminum foil. They will last in the refrigerator for three to four days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to reheat<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: Reheat leftover chicken thighs in the air fryer at 350F for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Nutrition_Facts\">Nutrition Facts<\/span><\/h3>\n<header class=\"label-header\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"label-header-detail servings\">Serves 4<\/li>\n<li class=\"label-header-detail serving-size\">Serving Size: 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"label-header-detail calories\">Calories Per Serving:\u00a0<span class=\"calories-detail-value font-bold\">219<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"label-body\">\n<h5 class=\"heading-text\"><span id=\"DAILY_VALUE\">% DAILY VALUE<\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"label-nutrients\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-percentage\">12%<\/span><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Total Fat\u00a0<span class=\"label-nutrient-value\">9.7g<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-percentage\">47%<\/span><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Cholesterol\u00a0<span class=\"label-nutrient-value\">140.1mg<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-percentage\">45%<\/span><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Sodium\u00a0<span class=\"label-nutrient-value\">1028.8mg<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-percentage\">1%<\/span><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Total Carbohydrate\u00a0<span class=\"label-nutrient-value\">1.7g<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Sugars\u00a0<span class=\"label-nutrient-value\">0.4g<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-percentage\">59%<\/span><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Protein\u00a0<span class=\"label-nutrient-value\">29.6g<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-percentage\">4%<\/span><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Vitamin A\u00a0<i>32.3\u00b5g<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"label-nutrient\"><span class=\"label-nutrient-percentage\">0%<\/span><span class=\"label-nutrient-name\">Vitamin C\u00a0<i>0.3mg<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air fryer chicken thighs are the crispiest, tastiest, and juiciest chicken you\u2019ll eat.
