Categories     Dinner

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tsp paprika
½ tsp mixed herbs
½ tsp garlic granules (optional)
4 chicken thighs, bone in
1 tsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the paprika in a bowl with the herbs and garlic granules, if using, together with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Scatter onto a plate. Rub the chicken thighs with the oil, then coat in the spice mix.
  • Put in the basket of your air fryer and cook, skin-side down, for 10 mins at 180C. Turn over and cook for a further 10-15 mins until cooked through and the skin is crispy. To check they are cooked, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a knife to see if the juices run clear. Remove from the air fryer immediately to stop the skin from softening.

Tips:

  • Use a marinade: Marinating the chicken thighs in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs infuses them with flavor and helps them stay moist during cooking.
  • Preheat your air fryer: Preheating the air fryer ensures that the chicken thighs cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Cooking the chicken thighs in a single layer allows the air to circulate around them and cook them evenly.
  • Flip the chicken thighs halfway through cooking: Flipping the chicken thighs halfway through cooking helps them cook evenly and prevents them from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs: The chicken thighs are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Conclusion:

Air fryer Greek chicken thighs are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
