Chicken Thighs in the Air Fryer

Directions :

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoon minced garlic about 2-3 cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the glaze in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Place the 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs about 4-5 medium thighs in a shallow baking dish or pan. Remove any excess fat and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the balsamic glaze over the chicken, turning over to ensure all sides are coated with the glaze.

3. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F. (Check your owners manual to see exact preheat times for your model of air fryer. Preheat times are typically 3-5 minutes.)

4. To the preheated air fryer basket, place the glazed chicken, skin side down. Use a liner for easy clean up. Discard the glaze that was in the baking dish. Evenly space the chicken thighs, making sure to place in one layer. Cook the chicken for 10 minutes.

5. After 10 minutes, turn the chicken thighs over, and brush with the reserved balsamic glaze that was previously set aside. Cook the chicken for an additional 10 minutes or until they register at 165°F using a digital thermometer.

6. Once done cooking, let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
