Air Fryer Quick Dinner: Crispy Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) while the chicken is marinating.
4. Once preheated, place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
5. Cook the chicken thighs in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
6. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
