Crispy Chicken Thighs: The Secret to Making Them Perfect!

Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to refresh the crispiness.

Serving: Pair your crispy chicken thighs with a dipping sauce like honey mustard or BBQ sauce, or enjoy them as-is with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

Variations
Spicy Chicken Thighs: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.

Honey Glazed: After the chicken thighs are cooked, brush them with a bit of honey for a sweet and savory finish.

FAQ
Can I use boneless chicken thighs?
Yes, you can use boneless chicken thighs, but keep in mind that they will cook faster. Adjust the cooking time accordingly (around 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness).

Can I make these in the oven?
Absolutely! You can bake the chicken thighs at 425°F (220°C) for about 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

How do I keep the skin crispy after cooking?
Let the chicken rest on a wire rack, not directly on a plate, after cooking. This helps keep the skin crispy by allowing air to circulate around the chicken.
