Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken Thighs
Servings: 4
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3-5 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs excess skin trimmed, if desired
- Kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 350 F and set timer for 25 minutes. (Note that you may not be cooking the chicken for that long, but it keeps the air fryer on in case you need more than 20 minutes.)
- To make the the spice mix, combine thyme, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper in a small bowl and stir well to mix. (You will not use all of it, so you can store leftover seasoning in an empty spice jar or small sealed container.)
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Sprinkle rotisserie seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- Place chicken in the preheated air fryer, skin side down. Set another timer for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, use tongs to turn over the chicken pieces. Set timer for an additional 10 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, check the temperature of the chicken to make sure it is 165 F in the thickest part of the chicken. (Make sure the probe is not touching the bone.) Remove any chicken pieces that have reached temperature. Continue to cook any other pieces for an additional 2-5 minutes or until they reach 165 F.
- For best results, let chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
No Air Fryer? You can bake these chicken thighs in the oven at 425 F for 30-40 minutes or until temperature in thickest part (not touching bone) is 165 F.
