Chicken thighs are absolutely amazing in the air fryer. Why? The higher fat content (compared to leaner chicken breasts) means it is really hard to overcook and dry out chicken thighs in the air fryer.

This means if you find your chicken thighs need a little longer than the prescribed 25 minutes, you can happily cook them longer safe in the knowledge they’ll remain really juicy. Do note the skin will begin to crisp around the 20-25 minute mark.

Please ensure your food is always thoroughly cooked. We recommend investing in a good kitchen thermometer. Our favorite is this affordable unit from Habor We get a small referral fee for any purchases made through Amazon. Find other accessories here.
