This recipe delivers crispy boneless skinless chicken thighs cooked in an air fryer, finished with a rich garlic herb butter for a juicy, flavorful meal that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds / 680 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, drizzle the chicken thighs with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin-side up, ensuring they do not overlap.
  5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Flip the thighs and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior is golden and crispy.
  6. While the chicken cooks, mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl until well combined.
  7. Once the chicken is out of the air fryer, immediately brush the thighs generously with the garlic herb butter.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F internal temperature. Brush garlic herb butter after cooking to avoid burning the butter. Rest chicken before serving. For extra crispness, add 2-3 minutes of cooking at the end if needed.
