Air Fryer Essentials: Crispy Thighs and Fries image

Nothing pretentious going on with this recipe; just simple ingredients and great taste. Full Stop. I am making these in my air fryer, but you could just as easily throw them into the oven. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
2 large chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
1/2 c flour, all-purpose variety
1/2 tsp oregano, dried variety
1/2 tsp basil, dried variety
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3. Chef's Note: To Brine, or not to Brine... That is the Question. When it comes to brining I usually like to brine chicken and/or pork, because it adds some flavor, and keeps the pork or chicken moist during the cooking process.
  • 4. Chef's Tip: To make sure that your chicken thighs have a crispy skin, allow them to sit uncovered in the fridge for about two hours, before covering in the oil, and spices.
  • 5. Coat the chicken thighs in the olive oil.
  • 6. Add all the spices, and flour to a bowl, and then coat the chicken thighs in the mixture.
  • 7. Add to the basket of your air fryer.
  • 8. Cook at 375f (190c), for 20 minutes.
  • 9. Flip the chicken, and continue to cook for an additional 6 minutes.
  • 10. Flip one more time, raise the heat to 400f (205c), and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • 11. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 12. Serve with some fries (I used my homemade potato puffs), and a bit of ketchup. Enjoy.
  • 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
