They aren’t breaded like many other chicken recipes I have shared, so they are a perfect 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.

How long do you cook thighs in the air fryer?
