Tuscan Roasted Chicken Thighs
The air fryer is a fine beast for cooking chicken. This version relies on store-bought herbs, and gets a bit of extra flavor from sun-dried tomatoes. Be sure to get the thighs with the skin on! The skin will crisp up nicely in the air fryer, and it's where a lot of the flavor is. You can also add some vegetables to the air fryer basket, such as potatoes, carrots, or onions. Just toss them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper, and cook them for about 15 minutes, or until they are tender.
The air fryer is a relatively new kitchen appliance, but it has quickly become a favorite among home cooks. It's a great way to cook chicken, because it produces evenly cooked, juicy chicken with crispy skin. This recipe for Tuscan Roasted Chicken Thighs is a great example of how to use the air fryer to cook a flavorful and delicious meal. The chicken is seasoned with a blend of dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper, and then roasted in the air fryer until cooked through. The resulting chicken is tender and flavorful, with a crispy skin. The sun-dried tomatoes add a bit of sweetness and acidity to the dish, and the fresh parsley adds a pop of color and flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
