Air Fryer Honey Chicken Thighs

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate, allowing the flavors to infuse into the chicken.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
6. Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight.
• Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
