These air fryer chicken thighs are SO easy and my family loves them! Juicy, savory, and a little crisped and browned on the outside. One of our favorite easy dinners!
Guys, I’ve been holding myself back from making these chicken thighs every single night. They’re so good. They go with almost anything, they’re extra juicy and crisped, and the kids and adults in my family BOTH approve!
I love them with so many things:
- roasted potato wedges and a cucumber salad
- a creamy pasta
- a wrap, sandwich, or salad
- a baked potato and some roasted veggies
- just eating straight with a side of your favorite sauce! (all my favorite sauces here!)
The chicken is so so flavor-crusted and so finger-licking yummy that I still can hardly believe you can make it in the air fryer.
I have to fight my kids not to eat it all off the cutting board before it even makes it to the table.
If you’ve made our air fryer chicken breasts (also amazing), the flavor on these chicken thighs is more savory. The OG chicken breast recipe has a brown sugar and smoked paprika base, whereas this one has paprika, garlic and onion, and a bit of oregano.
I have been LOVING these with a smoky paprika aioli (I’ll include that in the recipe notes – it is so yummy). I am making myself hungry just thinking about it.
Hope you guys love it!
