Description

Crispy and juicy air fryer chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey sauce. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a quick and delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced


Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil evenly over the chicken thighs.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
While the chicken cooks, prepare the honey sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic.
After 10 minutes, flip the chicken thighs skin-side up and brush the honey sauce generously over the skin.
Cook for an additional 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C) or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and caramelized.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
