Description
Lemon Garlic Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs is a flavorful and easy dish to make in your air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade and ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for optimal flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Once preheated, remove the chicken from the marinade and place the thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Cook the chicken thighs in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
- Ensure the air fryer is preheated for best results.
