Get ready for a tantalizing meal with this easy recipe for air fryer marinated chicken thighs. Marinated in a savory blend of spices and cooked in the air fryer, these thighs are a juicy and crispy delight that will leave you craving for more.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 chicken thighs (approximately 15 oz/420g)
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • salt and black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine curry powder, sweet paprika, garlic powder, mustard, and soy sauce. Mix well until smooth.
  2. 2Place the chicken thighs into the bowl with the marinade and toss them until each piece is thoroughly coated. You can use gloves or a spoon to mix them.
  3. 3Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate. It is recommended to marinate the chicken thighs for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to permeate the meat. The longer you marinate, the more intense the flavor will get.
  4. 4Preheat your air fryer to 380ºF (195ºC).
  5. 5Place the marinated chicken thighs on the air fryer tray or in the basket in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  6. 6Insert the tray or basket with the chicken thighs into the air fryer and cook at 380ºF (195ºC) for 20 minutes. Remember to flip the chicken thigh after the initial 10 minutes of cooking.
  7. 7Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness and size of the chicken thighs, so it is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 165ºF (75ºC).
  8. 8Once the chicken thighs turn golden and are well cooked, remove them from the air fryer. Serve the marinated chicken thighs hot and enjoy!
