Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs
These Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs are on my dinner rotation multiple nights of the week, and you can enjoy them so many ways. Greek yogurt not only adds tangy flavor but also tenderizes the chicken. Some nights, I serve them with a big salad, and other nights, I eat them with a vegetable and a grain. Keep reading for more ideas—the possibilities are endless! Other air fryer recipes made with chicken you must try are my air fryer chicken breasts, these crispy air fryer chicken thighs, and this whole chicken in the air fryer.

Greek Yogurt is a gentle, effective way to tenderize chicken, making it an effective marinade. It slowly breaks down the chicken’s proteins, creating a juicy texture. Garlic infuses the yogurt marinade with a robust, savory flavor. Lemon Juice thins the yogurt so it evenly coats the chicken. Seasoning: Paprika, Cajun seasoning, and any dried herbs, like herbs de Provence, provide a spicy, complex flavor. Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs cook quicker than bone-in thighs and are tastier than chicken breasts.
Do you rinse off yogurt marinade?
While you don’t want to rinse off the yogurt marinade (That’s where all the flavor is!), you can remove some of it. If you have a thick, goopy layer, it’ll stick to the air fryer and burn.
