Perfectly crispy air fried chicken thighs in a savory spice blend.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs bone-in, skinless
- 1 tablespoon semi-melted butter light
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon stevia or preferred sweetener
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Seasoned Butter Blend: In a bowl, combine the semi-melted butter, smoked paprika, garlic powder, stevia, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you have a smooth, flavorful blend.
- Coat and Marinate: Rub the seasoned butter mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring an even coating. Allow the chicken thighs to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for an even more intense flavor, marinate for up to two hours.
- Preheat and Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (or 200°C if desired) for a few minutes. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they're not overcrowded.
- Cooking Time: Cook the chicken thighs at 180°C (or 200°C) for about 30 minutes, flipping them over at the 20-minute mark for even cooking. If using larger chicken thighs, extend the cooking time by an additional 10 minutes to ensure they're thoroughly cooked.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, transfer the air-fried chicken thighs to a serving platter. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld.
