Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon homemade fajita seasoning
- Avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Spray chicken thighs with a light coating of avocado oil spray
- Sprinkle chicken evenly with seasoning
- Place in air fryer basket
- Cook at 380 ℉ for 10-15 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through
Notes
- Store cooled chicken thighs in the fridge for up to 4 days. (Freezing is not recommended to preserve the crispy exterior.)
- To reheat, add back to the air fryer at 350 ℉ for 4-5 minutes until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals with a splash of water for moisture (although it may lose some crispiness).
- Chicken is fully cooked at 165 ℉. Use an internal meat thermometer for accuracy.
- To cook from frozen, add 5-7 extra minutes of cooking.
- For best results and crisp edges, flip the chicken halfway through cooking and avoid overcrowding the basket.
- Let the thighs rest 3-5 minutes after cooking to lock in the juices.
