Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Recipe by Tasty image

Meet your latest weeknight dinner. Chicken thighs are soaked in a zesty balsamic marinade to tenderize and add tons of flavor to the meat. They're then cooked in an air fryer until crispy and golden brown. It's a super easy recipe and minimal clean up with the help of the air fryer!

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken thighs, large bone-in, skin on
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
fresh herb, for garnish, chopped

Steps:

  • Generously season the chicken thighs with salt on both sides, including under the skin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning.
  • Add chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Let the chicken come to room temperature before cooking.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Lightly spray with cooking spray or rub with a bit of olive oil.
  • Add the chicken thighs (as many as will fit) to the air fryer, skin-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook 5 -7 minutes more, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Repeat with the remaining chicken thighs, if needed.
  • Garnish with herbs of choice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
