Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup plain bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place chicken thighs and buttermilk in a non-reactive container with a lid or a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Pour off buttermilk and let chicken rest on the counter while preparing the breading mixture.
  • Combine flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and black pepper in a large, shallow bowl or pie plate; whisk or stir with a fork until evenly combined.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 to 380 degrees F (190 to 195 degrees C). Spray air fryer basket lightly with nonstick spray.
  • Once air fryer is hot, press chicken thighs, 1 at a time, into the breading mixture and make sure breading sticks onto all sides as much as possible. Gently set into the air fryer basket. Repeat until all thighs are breaded and in the basket. Do not stack them on top of each other.
  • Set air fryer for 25 minutes. When the time is up check temperature with an instant-read thermometer. Internal temperature should be 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). If they aren't quite done but the breading is getting dark, just close the basket again and let them rest, or you can turn the air fryer on again for a few minutes and check again. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality air fryer for best results.
  • Preheat your air fryer to the desired temperature before adding the chicken thighs.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before cooking to help them crisp up.
  • Season the chicken thighs liberally with your favorite seasonings. You can use a store-bought seasoning mix or make your own.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket, or the chicken thighs will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken thighs for the recommended amount of time, or until they are cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken thighs and the temperature of the air fryer.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
