Description

Air fried to a crisp perfection, this Air Fryer Panko Chicken Thighs recipe is so easy and tasty. Juicy, tender panko chicken thighs brushed with a sweet honey glaze, ready and on the table in under a half hour.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Step: In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and spices together.
  2. Step: In a separate small bowl, whisk eggs.
  3. Step: In a third bowl large enough to dip a whole chicken thigh, pour in the panko bread crumbs.
  4. Step: Coat a piece of chicken in flour mixture, then dredge in the egg wash, and finish coating it with the panko crumbs. Place on a clean solid surface, such as a plate or cutting board.
  5. Step: Repeat for each piece of chicken.
  6. Step: Pre-heat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
  7. Step: Spray your air fryer basket and chicken thighs with olive oil spray.
  8. Step: Working in batches, place the thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  9. Step: Air fry the chicken on 350F for 15 minutes. Use tongs to flip chicken and air fry for another 3-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
  10. Step: While the thighs are cooking, make your glaze by adding water and honey to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  11. Step: After your chicken is finished, brush it with the glaze.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place thawed chicken in the air fryer, spritz with oil, and cook at 400F for 3-5 minutes.
