How long does it take to cook chicken thighs in an air fryer?

The cooking time depends on whether you are using bone-in or boneless. Regardless, always use an instant meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees or higher. If using boneless, approximately 15 minutes in the air fryer. If using bone-in, approximately 35 minutes, flipping halfway. Temperature is 350-400 degrees.

What temperature do you cook chicken in the air fryer?

With my extensive experience in cooking boneless chicken thighs. The best temperature to cook the chicken is between 350 - 400 degrees. Always use an instant meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees or higher.
