AIR FRYER BONE-IN CHICKEN THIGHS

Air fryers are amazing for cooking 2 types of foods: frozen junk food and meat. Particularly chicken and fish. Not only do I use my air fryer to cook the crispiest most delicious frozen French fries, but I use it to cook perfectly juicy chicken.

These chicken thighs are flavored with garlic, lemon and seasons then air fried to perfection. Just make your favorite side dish and dinner is served.
