Air Fryer Christmas Chicken


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chicken:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for best flavor).

Cook the Chicken

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  2. Arrange Chicken: Place marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
  3. Air Fry: Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Rest and Serve: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle.
