Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and perfect for busy week nights! They take less than 20 minutes to make from start to finish. All they need is a simple dry rub and a drizzle of olive oil.  

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your basket air fryer for 3 minutes at 380°F.
  2. Combine your seasonings in a small bowl.
  3. Generously coat your raw boneless skinless chicken thighs with the seasoning blend. Coat both sides of the thighs and open the chicken thighs up so that you get the entire surface area of the chicken thighs.  You might have a little bit of your seasoning blend leftover.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over top of the chicken thighs.  Flip the chicken thighs over so that both sides of the thighs get a little bit of olive oil on them.
  5. Transfer the chicken thighs to the preheated air fryer basket.  Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the bottom of the air fryer basket.  Do not pile the chicken thighs on top of each other.  You may need to air fry your chicken thighs in two separate batches. 
  6. Air fry your first batch of chicken thighs for 10 minutes at 380°F.  After 10 minutes, flip them over and cook them for another 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken thighs.  Check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs using a digital meat thermometer after they have cooked for a total of 15 minutes.  If they have not reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F then continue cooking them for another 5 minutes, or 20 minutes total cooking time. 
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with your remaining chicken thighs. 
  8. Let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes outside of the air fryer, then slice them into thin slices, serve and enjoy!    

Notes

  • Always cook raw poultry to an internal temperature of at least 165°F.  Measure the internal temperature using a digital meat thermometer.
