Notes
This recipe was developed for a 5.8 quart (5.5 liter) air fryer.
Always make sure the chicken is cooked through (the food thermometer has to read 165°F/75°C) and always check the thickest piece.
I used 4 chicken thighs that weighed 1.5 pounds (680 grams) in total.
The cooking time may vary slightly. This will depend on the size of the thighs as well as on the air fryer (different brands may have slightly different cooking times).
For more information on this recipe as well as tips about air fryers or if in doubt, I recommend reading the full post.
