Air Fryer Essentials Crispy Thighs And Fries Recipes

AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees. Slice the potato using a fry cutter or slice into 1/4 inch strips. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with paper towel.
• In a medium sized bowl toss with olive oil, Italian seasoning, parmesan, salt and pepper. Place in air fryer basket and cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with ketchup or fry sauce.

CRISPY AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Mix together the granulated garlic, onion powder, thyme, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and add to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and half of the spice mix, then toss to combine.
• Add the flour to the remaining spice mix and stir to combine. Transfer the flour mixture to a large resealable bag. Add the seasoned thighs to the bag, seal well and toss until the chicken is fully coated in the flour.
• Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F. Add the chicken thighs to the air fryer basket, skin-side down and without touching. Cook, flipping skin-side up halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part (avoiding the bone) reads 165 degrees F, about 18 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

AIR FRYER ESSENTIALS: CRISPY THIGHS AND FRIES

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 3. Chef's Note: To Brine, or not to Brine... That is the Question. When it comes to brining I usually like to brine chicken and/or pork, because it adds some flavor, and keeps the pork or chicken moist during the cooking process.
• 4. Chef's Tip: To make sure that your chicken thighs have a crispy skin, allow them to sit uncovered in the fridge for about two hours, before covering in the oil, and spices.
• 5. Coat the chicken thighs in the olive oil.
• 6. Add all the spices, and flour to a bowl, and then coat the chicken thighs in the mixture.
• 7. Add to the basket of your air fryer.
• 8. Cook at 375f (190c), for 20 minutes.
• 9. Flip the chicken, and continue to cook for an additional 6 minutes.
• 10. Flip one more time, raise the heat to 400f (205c), and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• 11. PLATE/PRESENT
• 12. Serve with some fries (I used my homemade potato puffs), and a bit of ketchup. Enjoy.
• 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
