Notes

  • For perfectly crispy chicken, make sure you spray both sides with oil. I use avocado oil.
  • Let the excess marinade drip off before cooking to avoid a big mess in your air fryer.
  • Make sure that you flip the chicken halfway through to allow both sides to crisp up.
  • One of the biggest reasons that your chicken may not crisp up is if you overcrowd your air fryer. Cook in batches if necessary!
  • Preheating most air fryers is an important step to achieving the ultimate crispy air fryer bone-in chicken thighs.
