Ingredients
2
turkey thighs
2
tablespoon
chicken seasoning
1
tablespoon
olive oil
pinch
cayenne pepper
optional
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Start by washing the turkey thighs in cold water, patting them dry, and ensuring they're ready for seasoning.
Rub the turkey thighs with a generous amount of olive oil and season them with the chicken seasoning in a small bowl.
Place the seasoned turkey thighs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Air fry for 25 minutes, flipping the turkey thighs halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let rest for 10-15 minutes so that the turkey gets closer to room temperature
Notes
For extra crispy turkey skin, pat the thighs dry before seasoning and cooking.
If you don’t have an air fryer, adjust the cooking time of these turkey thighs to 375°F for about 20 minutes.
Marinate the turkey thighs overnight for even more flavor.
If you use frozen turkey thighs, make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
When the wings are done, let them rest for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Use a cajun seasoning or chipotle seasoning for an extra kick.
Spray your air fryer basket before cooking if you are concerned about sticking.
