Back in 2020, I shared one of my most popular air fryer recipes: crispy, juicy whole chicken thighs seasoned with my signature spice blend. This boneless, skinless version takes everything you loved about that recipe and makes it even quicker and more weeknight friendly.

Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs in the Air Fryer - your new weeknight chicken staple.
I'm not sure why I never thought to make this recipe when my recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Thighs has been so popular. The seasoning consisting of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano has been raved about by over 500 home cooks!
This simpler and quicker version uses boneless skinless chicken thighs. The cook time is much quicker, but the result is still juicy and delicious chicken.
- No skin to crisp up so much quicker cook time.
- Super versatile chicken than can be chopped and used in so many recipes or as a salad topping.
- Family friendly - my kids can't get enough of this chicken!

It was good but 20 min way too long 5to cook or 400 degrees too high. It was well done and tough.

Wow. I want to make and then eat them.
Can I suggest you add metric measures, temp and weights, volume.
There are many countries that only use metric.
