Air fryer chicken thighs were another cooking test with this machine; I must say the meat turned out spectacular in this case… very tender inside and the skin nice and crispy as I like it.
To finish cooking and achieve a nicely browned result for our chicken it took me about 45–50 minutes of cooking at 356°F, but if you don’t like a deep browning, about 40 minutes will be fine.
If you season them first and leave them in the fridge for at least 1 hour they will be even more flavorful; otherwise season and cook immediately.
I always line the fryer with a layer of foil and then parchment paper, but if you have a baking tray that fits inside the basket you can use that instead.
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos and I will publish them on my page with your name.
Of course, if you don’t have an air fryer you can still cook them in the oven, which will give a slightly different but still excellent result.
So let’s get to work and enjoy your meal!!!

Preparation of Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Preheat the air fryer to 356°F and let it heat for 15 minutes; meanwhile, in a bowl season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic cloves and rosemary, massaging the seasoning well into the meat.
When the fryer is hot, line the basket with foil and parchment paper or place a tray and arrange the meat on it.
Close the basket and cook at 356°F for 45–50 minutes, turning them at least once during cooking.
