Ingredients Lemon Pepper Thighs In Air Fryer:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh lemon wedges for serving
Instructions Lemon Pepper Thighs In Air Fryer:
- Warm up the air fryer.
- Turn your air fryer on to 375°F, or 190°C.
- To get the chicken ready, pat the thighs dry using paper towels to get rid of any extra moisture.
- To make a paste, combine olive oil, lemon pepper spice, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Coat the Chicken: Using the prepared spice paste, rub the chicken thighs until they are equally covered on both sides.
- Air Frying: Put the skin-side up, seasoned chicken thighs in the air fryer basket. To promote air circulation, place them so they are not in contact with one another.
Cook the thighs in the preheated air fryer for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, turning them over halfway through. - The size of your chicken thighs and the particular type of your air fryer might affect how long they take to cook. Make sure the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Take the chicken thighs out of the air fryer as soon as they are crispy and golden brown.
Serve the chicken with lemon wedges on the side and squeeze some fresh lemon juice over it.
