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
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C). This ensures a hot cooking environment for crispy results.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once cooked to perfection, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer. Garnish with lemon wedges for an extra zesty touch, if desired.
- 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!
