📋Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. Full instructions, including cooking time and temperature, are in the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

Start with a package of fresh boneless skinless fryer thighs. A 1-pound package should be enough.

Mix all the spices in a plastic Ziploc bag.

Place chicken thighs in bag and seal.

Shake well to coat pieces of chicken.

Add parchment paper (this is my favorite) to the air fryer basket AFTER preheating (never use parchment paper in an empty air fryer) and spray with cooking spray.

Add seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer to the air fryer basket.

Cook until crispy flipping halfway through.

Hint: This is a wonderful appetizer but can also be served as a main dish. Serve with green beans and old-fashioned potato salad for a full meal!

    Can tin foil be used instead of parchment paper.

    • Gail Gail on Aug 03, 2022

      Aluminum foil should not be used near food. You could ingest the aluminum nano particles, which are dangerous.

    Do you take the parchment paper out after you spray?

    • Nicole Nicole on Aug 03, 2022

      It sounds like you spray the parchment paper and then add the chicken.
