Notes
Mix the seasonings well into the chicken so every piece is fully coated. If you have time, let it marinate for a few minutes before placing it in the Air Fryer to intensify the flavor. Arrange the pieces without overlapping too much, as they will shrink slightly during cooking. The time may vary depending on the size of the chicken thighs and the power of the Air Fryer; if needed, cook a few more minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve hot to enjoy the juicy texture.
