[@Thespicyapron]

What's your favorite side dish with Air Fryer Chicken Thighs?

[@jamesgoacher1606]

Well I am going to have plain Chips (you may call them something different, I am English) and a few Peas.

[@Thespicyapron]

@@jamesgoacher1606 "Chips" sound great!! And I love Peas!

[@ramonapatterson1082]

Mac and cheese or chicken rice

[@SageSmartSolutions]

Cauliflower mash.

[@Thespicyapron]

@@SageSmartSolutions good one!

[@rhondadickey7158]

Thank you for being thorough without adding 5-8 minutes of unnecessary self indulgent blather. This is rare. This recipe is GREAT! You are now my first go to site.

[@fatallyfresh3932]

It's rare because it makes people more money from adsense.

[@awjake137]

Great recipe. I always raise the skin and season between the meat and skin as well.

[@km_zencat]

Just bought an air fryer and am looking for easy dinner recipes like this. The chicken looks amazing. Can't wait to try it!

[@kennethbland4086]

I liked this because there are no eggs or flour which makes a real mess when I make it with those two ingredients. I am going to make this for my dinner. Yum Yum. Thank you.

[@wonderwoman5528]

Excellent presenting skills: clear and helpful! :)

[@reyescastellanoz4688]

My Traeger pellet grill is broke and my wife loves those same chicken thighs on it. Really enjoyed your video, gonna try it tonight in the air fryer

[@kellyjo999]

We love Spanish rice with gandules when we have chicken. You can even take the left over chicken and add it to the Spanish rice. It's amazing

[@rr2147]

Thank you! I’ve never cooked in my life until this week, but you’d never know it with this recipe. It’s so amazingly tasty!

[@lornadune2506]

Just my personal preference, but I like putting my spice mix underneath the skin rather than on top so the spices don't burn and the meat gets even more flavorful. But yeah this is one of my favorite lazy dinners and one of my favorite ways to eat chicken. I usually eat it with white rice or roasted carrots and mushrooms

[@mordissa]

I like it too, on a bed of white rice!

[@DawnMFisher75]

I just tried this today and it was DELICIOUS!! I did trim the excess skin and air fried them before making the thighs. All fantastic! I made steamed broccoli with homemade cheese sauce for the side. Definitely making this again as it came out perfect! 😍😋 Thank you for your video 😁

[@lucyd007]

I made the chicken today. My husband loved it. He likes the skin crispy and that it was. I have a Bella air fryer. So I could mine at 18 min on the skin side and than 8 min on the other side. Perfect cook

[@Thespicyapron]

@@lucyd007 yay! Nothin' as good as a happy hubby!

Absolutely awesome 👏 Our sides are Garlic spaghetti & salad

[@hislamb4528]

Hey! I never thought of garlic spaghetti! Genius! Thanks and blessings!😃❤️🙏

[@chularogers587]

Delicious! Thank you for this great recipe! Before I got my air fryer, I cooked because I like to eat. Now I really enjoy cooking!! I look forward to trying your other recipes!

[@nectarpeach2853]

Great recipe! I'm on my own now so these recipes come in handy. I would definitely suggest letting the chicken rest after cooking! The reason there's excessive dripping is because the juices haven't had time to settle back into the meat. If you wait just a little the chicken wont be less juicy, it will just be less excessively drippy.

[@Thespicyapron]

Good tip!

[@missmonasuzette]

Agree! I always let mine rest for about 15 minutes so that they are hot but no steam wafting up when cut. They're so much better that way.

[@billwalters2616]

cooked your chicken recipe. It was the juiciest chicken I have ever eaten. had it with your sweet potato fries. Both were winners

[@EllyMentryPapercrafting]

Thanks for this recipe. I'm a bit late to the party and only just purchased the air fryer mini oven! I cooked my chicken thighs exactly to your instructions and they were really good! I substituted fajita seasoning for your mix, and we really liked it. I also added some strips of mixed fresh peppers to the basket at half time, they were scrummy too!! x

[@bz3548]

Great tip: fajita seasoning, bet is delicious, too. Did you put the seasoning on your peppers? Thank you.

[@EllyMentryPapercrafting]

Yes I did!

[@bz3548]

Good morning from yet another snowy day here in Minnesota. I am sure you miss that 😀. Very good video and your chicken came out " Sizzling Hot " much like you !!

[@Thespicyapron]

Wow! Snow?? Can you believe it's supposed to hit 96 here in the next day or two?? No, I don't miss the snow!

[@ramonapatterson1082]

Tried you recipe and my thighs were great 👍

[@vinomafia]

Fast and easy, excellent video

[@bonwatcher]

I used to do this in a cast iron skillet in the oven, but wanted to try my air fryer on it. Thanks for the recipe and advice, I am trying this soon! 😊

[@bz3548]

Wonder if the top of the meat has any flavor as the seasoning you used only goes on the skin. I think I will put it underneath and on the skin 😋and of course at the bottom like you showed. Thank you. Will definitely try it.

[@Jose_Jimenez]

Thank you for the very simple recipe.

[@kellynorris995]

great video!

[@jamesmcgauhey7832]

Made this last night and my son’s girlfriend said it was the best chicken thighs she ever had. I was out of smoked paprika so I used regular paprika instead. Thx for sharing.

[@lyndiegf]

I must just say your channel is just what I was looking for, really helpful as I’m new to air frying 🎉 and your right about the yellow labels they do go down a bit more in the afternoon, and then anything we don’t sell goes to the local food bank, so again thanks for this videoj

[@LCculater]

Damn love your cooking videos ! I’m 62 and cook for my lady friends and they love it 😂

[@allmightygreat1892]

Thank you great video. Learning to cook from your videos.

[@dboivin48]

Looks good. I'll give it a try.

[@tangomcphearson74]

Honestly, I would never trim the excess skin - it gets SO crispy and delicious in the air fryer - and makes a great snack all by itself! It's yummy! Have you ever tried the airfried chicken with Old bay seasoning, and Oregano, galric powder, onion poweder? it's great - but i'm always looking for new spice blends - this sounds easy - so I will give it a try

[@VManly]

I got an air fryer for my birthday. Came with dos n don't info . ..I have Bake, Roast and Air Fry...I want to cook some thighs now..and am not sure which one to pick..do temps and time vary between an air fry or roasting..or baking...my oven fried chicken I did in my oven .so I was going to just hit bake n the temp I used. But am concerned about the time to cook ..I know I need to find a cook book for air frying...but can anyone offer a suggestion.. thanks 🙏

I cook 4 to 8 thighs just like this with a round of legs or breast loins then frozen seasoned brussel sprouts in the air fryer. Only a few pieces to clean up afterwards.

[@toadranger50]

Carnivore diet needs that extra skin, and that’s the part that gets extra crispy. Everything else I agree that it’s a good recipe.

[@msfoster2468]

You are good 😊

[@mordissa]

Best thing about an air fryer is, if it's hot, you dont heat up the kitchen or the rest of the house!

Yes! So true!!

We are doing Keto/Carnivore, but I am trying to use up all the veggies I planted this year in my Garden so our favorite veg is all or a combo of some, in a frying pan with bacon grease and bits of bacon on top.fried till light brown. Oh and by the way, my husband and I loved that chicken in the Fryer.😍

[@debbiesnyder762]

That’s the only way I cook them. Your making me hungry

[@jamesgoacher1606]

Well you have sold me. My Air Fryer is a bit elderly now, a Phillips thing at least 20 yrs old and doing stirling service but a silly price now aso I can not justify replacing it. Does a Fan Mini Oven count as an Air Fryer? Got one of those. I have a plan to cook this - a single serving - tomorrow.

[@Thespicyapron]

Glad you're trying it! Let me know how it goes!

[@kathytischler8191]

I cooked mine skin side down for 10 minutes they weren’t even half done. I adding another 5-8 minutes. I hope I am not making a mistake

[@charlesdyer5348]

These recipes all give temperatures and cooking times but not what setting to use.Is it air fry,bake or roast?

[@Thespicyapron]

Good question - at the time I filmed this, my air fryer was only an air fryer, so there were no other options to consider. Today's air fryers are much more sophisticated, offering more options. This should be done on "air fry." And my guess is that most recipes you see that are called "air fryer" recipes are all set to air fry unless otherwise specified.

[@charlesdyer5348]

@@Thespicyapron Thank you.

[@charlesdyer5348]

I found ROAST 22 minutes at 400° works well also.

[@mikeyofosho]

Do we let the chicken come up to room temperature before frying?

[@steveellis8746]

The chicken thighs look great.. word of caution... wash the tongs before removing the cooked thighs at the end of cooking to prevent contamination 🙂

[@joeyhandeland983]

Yes, I agree. I've caught myself doing this.

[@HarrySatchelWhatsThatSmell]

I would.

[@mateofernando5066]

I am finding the skin is getting burned and blackened when I use 400 oF. I think the temperature needs to be lowered to 300-350 o F, to avoid blackening the skin

"Place in a single layer in your air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes! That’s it!" Thank you!!!!

[@deandryden6544]

What temperature do you set the air fryer?

[@sld1776]

The chicken temperature is usually 380.

[@karenughoc2849]

Your written recipe did not said what the temp setting is.

[@Thespicyapron]

Thanks for your comment. The writen blog post does have tthe temp up in the actual content in the post, but you are correct - it was not in the recipe card written instructions. Thank you for pointing that out. I have updated it to include that in the recipe card as well. I appreciate it!

[@UsmanGhani-cl3jp]

I am thinking of cooking the boneless chicken pieces in the air fryer and then making the curry sauce and just adding chicken pieces to the curry sauce, and that is chicken curry

Air fryers are great, aren't they? !! And don't discard the chicken fat from the air fryer basket. - Using it on your fries will give them an extra lift.

[@rwlewko]

I might add a teaspoon of ground cumin and maybe a touch of cayenne to the spices. I have an air fryer coming from Amazon in a few days. I think that will be among the first recipe I try - right after doing some potato wedges!

[@Thespicyapron]

Love the idea of adding cumin and cayenne!! Let me know how it turns out!

[@rwlewko]

@@Thespicyapron Well, I got my air fryer - an Instant Pot Vector 6 Qt. I have only had time to do the test run and one meal. As I said above I did potato wedges and thighs. On the potatoes I just used Himalayan sea salt and fresh ground pepper. On the thighs I used your recipe and added one teaspoon of cumin and just a pinch of cayenne. So delicious!!! Just as I thought the cumin added to the smokiness of the paprika and the cayenne put an extra tang that was delightful. Happy air frying!!!

[@Thespicyapron]

@@rwlewko that sounds fabulous! I love the cumin and cayenne add. Nice!!

[@MrZiffos]

May seem a silly question (from an Air Fryer "newby") but how do you keep your chicken thighs crispy and warm whilst you wait for your sweet potato fries to cook?

[@robynkenny1498]

I don't think it's a silly question at all. I am also a new air fryer user and wonder how people cook a whole meal in the fryer, especially for a large family. I am a single family and I just steam my vegetables, or make the side dish on the stove while the chicken is cooking in the air fryer.

[@kristyhawes]

I would add soy and garlic

[@onaturalia]

Weird. I tried this and after 20 minutes my thighs were bloody. I wound up cooking them for about 45 minutes @400. Burnt on the outside, cooked correctly on the inside. Skin burned to get the right amount of heat inside.

[@TammyGronskei]

I like the skin on chicken

Parsley patatoes with sweet corn

[@dreamerw6134]

Does it take as long to cook if the chicken thigh is no skin no bone?
