Air-Fried Breaded Chicken Thighs image

Wonderfully crisp and juicy air-fried chicken thighs. These won't get crispy all the way around on the bottom, but it's an easy oil-free way to get that crunch on top with just a few steps. Let the air fryer do all the work!

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup plain bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place chicken thighs and buttermilk in a non-reactive container with a lid or a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Pour off buttermilk and let chicken rest on the counter while preparing the breading mixture.
  • Combine flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and black pepper in a large, shallow bowl or pie plate; whisk or stir with a fork until evenly combined.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 to 380 degrees F (190 to 195 degrees C). Spray air fryer basket lightly with nonstick spray.
  • Once air fryer is hot, press chicken thighs, 1 at a time, into the breading mixture and make sure breading sticks onto all sides as much as possible. Gently set into the air fryer basket. Repeat until all thighs are breaded and in the basket. Do not stack them on top of each other.
  • Set air fryer for 25 minutes. When the time is up check temperature with an instant-read thermometer. Internal temperature should be 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). If they aren't quite done but the breading is getting dark, just close the basket again and let them rest, or you can turn the air fryer on again for a few minutes and check again. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For crispy skinless chicken thighs with bone in air fryer, use a single layer to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding the air fryer basket will result in soggy chicken.
  • To enhance the flavor of the chicken thighs, marinate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • If you want to achieve a golden brown color on your chicken thighs, brush them with melted butter or olive oil before cooking.
  • Keep an eye on the chicken thighs while they are cooking and adjust the cooking time accordingly. Depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs, they may take more or less time to cook through.
  • Once the chicken thighs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in tender and juicy chicken.

Conclusion:

Making skinless chicken thighs with bone in air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal.
