Nothing pretentious going on with this recipe; just simple ingredients and great taste. Full Stop. I am making these in my air fryer, but you could just as easily throw them into the oven. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make air fryer essentials: crispy thighs and fries

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Step 3

Chef’s Note: To Brine, or not to Brine… That is the Question. When it comes to brining I usually like to brine chicken and/or pork, because it adds some flavor, and keeps the pork or chicken moist during the cooking process.
Step 4

Chef’s Tip: To make sure that your chicken thighs have a crispy skin, allow them to sit uncovered in the fridge for about two hours, before covering in the oil, and spices.
Step 5

Coat the chicken thighs in the olive oil.
Step 6

Add all the spices, and flour to a bowl, and then coat the chicken thighs in the mixture.
Step 7

Add to the basket of your air fryer.
Step 8

Cook at 375f (190c), for 20 minutes.
Step 9

Flip the chicken, and continue to cook for an additional 6 minutes.
Step 10

Flip one more time, raise the heat to 400f (205c), and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 11

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 12

Serve with some fries (I used my homemade potato puffs), and a bit of ketchup. Enjoy.
Step 13

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
