Ingredients
- 3 frozen chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 1 tablespoon herb blend of choice or all-purpose seasoning
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray or your preferred cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F to ensure your chicken will start cooking immediately and evenly.
- Arrange the frozen chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up, without overlapping. Lightly coat the skin with olive oil spray.
- Season the chicken with freshly ground black pepper and your chosen herb blend. Flip the chicken using kitchen tongs and repeat the oil spray and seasoning on the other side.
- Cook the chicken thighs for 25 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the thighs to ensure even cooking. This is also a good time to check if they need more oil spray.
- After the initial cooking time, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. The safe internal temperature for chicken is 165°F. If they haven't reached this temperature in the thickest part of the meat, continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- If you like extra crispy skin, increase the air fryer temperature to 380°F and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Serve hot.
