Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to create a marinade.
- Add the 1 pound chicken thighs to a large bowl or resealable bag, making sure they’re fully coated with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Take the chicken thighs out of the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
- Arrange the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down, in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
- Air fry the chicken thighs at 380°F (190°C) for 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, flip the chicken thighs over with tongs and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden.
- Once done, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
