Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Maple Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
Begin by taking a large resealable plastic bag and blending together buttermilk, maple syrup, egg, and granulated garlic until well combined.
Step 2
Next, introduce the chicken thighs into the bag, seal it securely, and let them soak in the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour, or ideally overnight, to infuse maximum flavor.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, prepare your dry mix by whisking together flour, tapioca flour, salt, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, granulated onion, black pepper, cayenne pepper, granulated garlic, and honey powder in a shallow bowl.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) to ensure a crispy finish.
Step 5
Once the chicken has marinated, drain the thighs and discard the marinade.
Step 6
Coat each thigh generously in the dry mix, shaking off any excess flour for a perfect crust.
Step 7
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket, allowing them to bask in the heat.
Step 8
Cook for 12 minutes, then flip the thighs over and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C), which should take an additional 13 minutes.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful crunch and rich flavors of your perfectly air-fried chicken thighs!.
