INGREDIENTS

  • 1lb ground @perduechicken (yes the brand matters 👋 chicken snob. It tastes best)
  • 2oz cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Dash of salt (I rarely measure 👀)
  • Pork Rinds for the coating (I prefer Epic brand baked pork rinds but use what you want. I find it takes about 2-3 bags of the small Epic packages & about 3/4-1 bag of the regular sized pork rind bags)

DIRECTIONS 

  • Mix ground chicken, egg, cream cheese, & salt in a large bowl
  • Crush pork rinds up
  • Roll chicken into a “meatball” or use a spoon or scooper to scoop & coat the meatball with the crushed pork rinds (warning, it’s sticky af. That’s chicken for ya)
  • Place meatball or nugget (however you wanna shape your chicken) in the air fryer. Space evenly. Spray your basket if you need to.
  • Airfry for 10 mins at 400°
  • Flip your nuggs & cook for another 5-10 minutes at 400°, depending on your desired crispiness or texture. I like mine CRISPYYYY so I do 10.
  • ENJOY!!

Lilbitoffit Crispy Airfryer Chicken Thigh Recipe

I mean seriously, the AirFryer is basically a one-pot wonder & magical basket for so many dishes! And for us carnivores who love a good crisp, it’s a life changer!

If I’m lookin to change up my red meat options,  chicken thighs are my fav! The airfryer makes chicken thighs come out tender & juicy with a deliciously crispy skin (best part 🤤)!

Great protein option for any diet!

**Common question: Can I use frozen chicken in the air fryer?

Answer: YES! Note cooking times will differ. Rule fo thumb, airfry frozen chicken thighs an extra 50% of time from the original recipe you’re using.

Tips

  • Choose pieces of chicken that are of equal size so they cook evenly in the air fryer. Don’t over crowd.
  • The internal temp for chicken should be 165°F
  • For ultimate juiciness, meat should set before serving to seal in the juices. 
  • Mix sauces & seasonings to add variety if you use different sauces and seasonings. Smoked paprika and sea salt are my two faves!
  • Chicken thighs keep about 5 days in the refrigerator & can be frozen up to 1 month.
