How To Make

Pro Tips

  • Best Results: For best results, when using an air fryer, I recommend using a meat thermometer, and when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, in the thickest part of the chicken, you can safely remove the chicken.
  • If you want some spice to your Greek Chicken Thighs, add half a teaspoon of cayenne or red pepper flakes.
  • For a complete meal, you can also add potatoes of Air Fryer Chicken Thighs and Potatoes.

Do I Need To Preheat My Air Fryer

There is no reason to preheat your air fryer since you aren’t looking to sear the flavor into the chicken thighs.

What If My Chicken Thighs Are Bigger or Smaller

This is a tricky question; since all air fryers are different, and all chicken thighs are different, I highly recommend that you use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken before removing it from the air fryer.

You are looking for an internal temperature of 165 degrees f.H

How Long Do You Cook Frozen Chicken Thighs In Air Fryer

Cooking frozen chicken thighs in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to get perfectly crispy, tender chicken every time. The key to cooking frozen chicken thighs in an air fryer is getting the temperature and timing right.

To start, place the frozen chicken thighs in the air fryer basket and close the lid. Set the temperature to 375 degrees F and cook for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken thighs. While cooking, periodically check to ensure the frozen chicken is not sticking or burning.

Once your chicken thighs are fully cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket using tongs or a spatula. Serve immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your perfectly crispy, tender chicken thighs cooked in the convenience of your own home!

Whether you prefer your rice cooked to perfection or tossed in a refreshing vinaigrette, there is something for everyone when it comes to pairing air fried chicken thighs with the perfect side.
