Ingredients
  

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Air Fry the Chicken: Once preheated, place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. It’s okay if they touch slightly, but avoid overcrowding for even cooking.

          Cook: Air fry the chicken thighs at 380°F (193°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C), and the skin should be golden and crispy.

            Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
