Description

Deliciously seasoned air fryer boneless chicken thighs that are juicy and flavorful.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds large boneless chicken thighs, skin optional, excess fat removed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, curry powder, and olive oil. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s okay if they’re snug. (For this quantity, you’ll want an air fryer that’s at least 6 QT capacity.)
  4. Cook for 13 to 15 minutes, until the chicken is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads at least 170°F. (If you want less blackening you can flip halfway through, but I like it blackened.)
  5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing, if desired.

Notes

  • For juicier chicken, marinate it for an hour before cooking.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
