Make Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs in an air fryer! Chicken marinates in olive oil and spices before cooking. Crispy outside, juicy inside!
- 4 large chicken thighs (bone in, skin on)
- 1½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ Tablespoons garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
-
Pat chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Place chicken in a large bowl; set aside.
-
In a separate small bowl, combine garlic powder, salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary and tarragon.
-
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken, then add spice mix. Use your hands to rub and coat chicken with oil and spices until they adhere. Continue until chicken is coated on all sides with oil/spices. Let chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat air fryer according to manufacturer directions. Once preheated, adjust temperature to 380°F. Place chicken thighs in the inner basket, leaving space between each one. TIP: If cooking more than 4 thighs, don't overcrowd the basket, to ensure each piece cooks evenly and becomes crisp on the outside.
-
Select the CHICKEN button if the air fryer has that feature. If not, set the timer for 20 minutes (at 380°F). Press START; cook chicken for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, press PAUSE; flip chicken over to the other side. Continue cooking the other side the remaining 10 minutes OR until the garlic herb chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
-
When done, let chicken rest 1-2 minutes to let internal juices redistribute in the meat. Serve with favorite side dishes and enjoy!
