Instructions:

Step 1:

Place your chicken in a container or chopping board and drizzle some olive oil. Massage it well until it’s well coated. This will help the seasonings to stick to the chicken.

Step 2:

In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Step 3:

Sprinkle the combined seasonings on your oiled chicken on both sides. Make sure to generously season each chicken thigh.

Step 4:

Get the basket of the air fryer and place the coated chicken skin side down.

Step 5:

Cook for about 18 to 20 minutes at 385F. After 10 minutes, pull the basket. The skin side should be a little bit browned. Flip all the chicken thighs and cook for another 10 minutes to let the other side fry.

Step 6:

After 20 minutes, it should be crispy, juicy, and brown. Next, make the lemon pepper sauce. In a bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of parsley, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of lemon pepper seasoning. Mix everything together until well combined.

Step 7:

Brush the chicken with the lemon pepper seasoning. Serve while hot. Enjoy!
