Don’t overcrowd your air fryer: If your air fryer is on the smaller side, you’ll need to cook your chicken thighs in batches. Overcrowding your air fryer will make it impossible for the skin on your chicken thighs to get crispy and delicious. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
How to bake in the oven: Preheat the oven to 400F. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a quarter sheet baking pan and bake for 35 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F as read on a meat thermometer. Turn over once halfway through baking. Optionally, turn the broiler on high and cook for another 2-3 minutes until nicely charred.
How to grill chicken thighs: Preheat the grill to 350 F over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side until nicely charred and the internal temperature for the chicken reaches 165 F as read on a meat thermometer. Flip occasionally to avoid overcooking.
How to store: Make sure to let the air fryer chicken thighs cool to room temperature before storing. This helps keep the crispy skin crispy. Place them in an airtight container or wrap them in aluminum foil. They will last in the refrigerator for three to four days.
How to reheat: Reheat leftover chicken thighs in the air fryer at 350F for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
