Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs

Succulent chicken thighs marinated in savory garlic and Parmesan flavors, cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a delightful crunch.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken thighs (Bone-in or boneless can be used)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Can substitute with avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Freshly grated gives the best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Coat the chicken thighs in the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-covered.
  4. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated chicken thighs.

Notes

For a perfect result, pat the chicken dry before marinating to enhance crispiness. Double-coat for extra crunch and use fresh cheese for better melt and flavor.
