Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs bone in skin on
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Parsley and lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Dry chicken thighs well using paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil honey minced garlic lemon juice paprika salt cracked pepper and onion powder.
  3. Generously coat the chicken thighs with the prepared mixture by brushing or tossing in a large bowl.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray then place the chicken thighs in a single layer.
  5. Air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes turning the chicken over halfway through cooking.
  6. Check doneness by ensuring internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Before serving sprinkle fresh parsley and squeeze lemon juice on top of the chicken.

Notes

  • Remember to flip the chicken halfway during cooking to ensure even crisping. If the skin starts to brown too fast towards the end, flip the chicken again to prevent burning. This dish is great cooked right after seasoning or can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours to deepen the flavors.
