Description

Lemon Pepper Air Fryer Chicken Thighs are so good! You can not go wrong with this recipe. Packed with the lemon flavor and a dash of pepper, this will soon become one of your family's favorite Air Fryer Meals.

Ingredients 

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs,
  • 1.5 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 wedges wedges, optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a hot cooking environment for crispy results.
  • Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Mix well to create a paste. Rub this flavorful paste generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they're evenly coated.
  • Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up, making sure they're not crowded. This allows for even cooking and crispy skin.
  • Air Fry: Cook the chicken thighs at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes. Midway through the cooking time, pause and carefully flip the chicken thighs for even browning. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
  • Serve: Once cooked to perfection, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer. Garnish with lemon wedges for an extra zesty touch, if desired.
  • Enjoy: Serve your Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs hot, and relish the harmonious blend of crispy skin and tender, citrus-infused meat. It's a delightful feast for your senses!
