You’ll love how easy it is to make air fryer chicken thighs. Cooking chicken in the air fryer not only saves time but leaves you with a super juicy piece of chicken.
This is probably one of my favorite ways to cook chicken thighs now. I used to be in love with my recipe for “Garlic Roasted Chicken Thighs” and it was my go-to recipe for chicken thighs, and while I still love that recipe so much, this one might be better and it is a lot faster.
A few simple spices rubbed into boneless skinless chicken thighs and a couple of minutes in an air fryer create a moist and flavorful chicken that is perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients For Air Fryer Chicken Thighs:
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- dried parsley for garnish (optional)

Can I Cook Other Chicken Pieces In The Air Fryer?
Absolutely! I have the directions on how to Air Fryer Roast Chicken, for whole chickens and you can also use chicken breasts in this recipe instead of chicken thighs. If I were to use chicken breasts in this recipe, I would pound them a bit flatter because sometimes chicken breasts can be a bit thick.
Cooking time may vary based on thickness of chicken, so remember that Chicken should reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F.
