Make these juicy and tender air fryer chicken thighs for dinner tonight! They have the perfect amount of seasoning and then are air-fried to get that crispy outside without drying them out!

One of the many things I LOVE about my air fryer is its ability to cook meat quickly while keeping it nice and juicy on the inside and crispy/crunchy on the outside. These air fryer chicken thighs are no exception!

Easy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

They aren’t breaded like many other chicken recipes I have shared, so they are a perfectly healthy option and work really well for people following a low-carb or Keto diet. Of course, you don’t have to be on any kind of diet to enjoy these yummy chili ranch-flavored chicken thighs.

Other main dish air fryer recipes I have shared are Garlic Herb Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin, Pretzel Crusted Air Fryer Chicken Strips, Air Fryer Meatloaf, and Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan.
