Notes

Cooking Temps and Times:

Always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for safe eating.

Set the air fryer to 375°F for 20-25 minutes for bone-in chicken thighs with skin on. If using boneless chicken thighs, adjust the cooking time to 15-20 minutes.

Leftovers: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Reheat: Pop the chicken thighs back into the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350°F. This will crisp the skin and heat the chicken without drying it out.
