Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons 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
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, dried parsley, dried oregano, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Cooking in multiple batches may be necessary depending on your air fryer size.
- Air fry the chicken thighs at 380°F (190°C) for 12 minutes.
- Using tongs, flip the chicken thighs over so the skin side is facing up. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer. Let the thighs rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
Marinating overnight enhances flavor and tenderness.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Adjust cooking times based on the size of the chicken thighs.
