Boneless skinless chicken thighs typically take about 15 to 20 minutes to cook in an air fryer at around 380°F to 400°F. Here are some common guidelines from various reliable sources:
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place the chicken thighs in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for about 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
- Another method suggests cooking at 390°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, flipping, then cooking another 8 minutes, again until the internal temperature is 165°F
- Some recipes recommend cooking at 400°F for 12 minutes, flipping, then cooking for an additional 8 minutes
- A slightly longer cook time of 18-20 minutes at 380°F is also common, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior
- If chicken thighs are thicker or marinated, cooking times may vary slightly, but the key is to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
In summary, boneless skinless chicken thighs generally take between 15 to 20 minutes in an air fryer at temperatures ranging from 380°F to 400°F, with flipping halfway through for even cooking and crispiness
. Always use a meat thermometer to confirm doneness.
