Crispy Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Thighs

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Thighs.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for some deliciousness.

2. Step 2

   While that heats up, grab some Swiss cheese and cut it into six delightful 2 1/2-inch square pieces.

3. Step 3

   Next, let’s create a flavorful coating! In a shallow dish, mix together panko bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons of sazon seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of flour for that perfect crunch.

4. Step 4

   In another shallow dish, combine the remaining flour with a bit more sazon seasoning to enhance the flavor.

5. Step 5

   For the final dish, crack a few eggs and whisk them until they’re nice and frothy, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to assemble our tasty bundles! Take a piece of Swiss cheese and place it on a slice of turkey lunch meat.

7. Step 7

   Wrap the turkey around the cheese snugly, creating a delightful little package.

8. Step 8

   Open up each chicken thigh and place one of your turkey-cheese bundles right in the center.

9. Step 9

   Roll the chicken thigh around the bundle, making sure it’s completely enclosed for that juicy surprise inside.

10. Step 10

    Next, dip each stuffed chicken thigh into the flour mixture, coating it well, then into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.

11. Step 11

    Finally, press it into the panko mixture, ensuring it’s fully covered for that irresistible crunch.

12. Step 12

    To help everything crisp up beautifully, spray both sides of the breaded chicken thighs with nonstick cooking spray and place them seam-side down in your preheated air fryer.

13. Step 13

    Now, lower the air fryer temperature to 380°F (193°C) and let the chicken cook for about 15 minutes.

14. Step 14

    After that, gently turn the chicken thighs over, give them another spritz of nonstick spray, and reduce the temperature to 370°F (187°C).

15. Step 15

    Continue air frying until the chicken is cooked through, which should take about another 8 minutes.

16. Step 16

    Once they’re golden and crispy, serve your stuffed chicken thighs immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
