Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Maple Recipes

AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and brush the skin-side of each piece with olive oil. Place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in a single layer on a plate.
• Combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl and sprinkle half the seasoning mixture evenly over the 4 chicken thighs. Turn thighs over and evenly sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture on top. Place chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin-side up.
• Fry in the preheated air fryer until chicken is brown and juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

AIR FRIED MAPLE CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, maple syrup, egg, and 1 teaspoon granulated garlic in a resealable bag. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Combine flour, tapioca flour, salt, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, granulated onion, pepper, cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, and honey powder in a shallow bowl.
• Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drain and discard marinade from chicken thighs. Dredge chicken through flour mixture and shake off excess. Place chicken skin-side down in the preheated air fryer and cook for 12 minutes. Turn thighs and fry an additional 13 minutes.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGHS (MAPLE)

Steps:

• Drop chicken thighs together with the rest of the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
• Mix and massage the thighs by hand for about 3 minutes, or until all the liquids get absorbed by the meat. Make sure that the thighs are evenly covered by the seasoning sauce.
• Place the thighs on the air fryer rack, leaving some space in between. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do the frying in two batches.
• Fry at 400F for 10 min skin side up. Check the browning. If well-browned, flip and fry for 10 min more, again at 400F. If not, let them brown for another 5 minutes, then flip. Different air fryers cook differently. Cook until internal temperature reaches at least 165F. I prefer 185F. You do not need to preheat the air fryer.
• Once the thighs are done, flip them over and transfer to a serving platter. Serve hot, with your favorite side dish or a salad.

• Let the thighs rest for 5 minutes then dish and serve hot.
• Enjoy!
