How to Prepare
To prepare these delicious Air Fryer Mediterranean Chicken Thighs, start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F. While the air fryer is heating up, prepare the herb mixture by mixing together dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Next, rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, ensuring all sides are coated. Sprinkle the herb mixture over the chicken thighs, making sure to cover them evenly. This will give the chicken a burst of Mediterranean flavors.
Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. This allows the skin to crisp up nicely. Air fry the chicken thighs for 8 minutes, then flip them over and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once the chicken thighs are cooked through, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy chicken. Serve the Air Fryer Mediterranean Chicken Thighs with your favorite Mediterranean sides or on top of a salad for a complete meal.
