Cooking Instructions:
- Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy skin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the room temperature unsalted butter and ranch seasoning. Mix until well combined, creating a flavorful butter blend.
- Using a basting brush, generously coat each chicken thigh with the ranch butter mixture. Make sure to get some under the skin for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating helps to achieve that perfect crispiness.
- Place the chicken thighs skin side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the crispy, juicy goodness!
Notes
- Pat the chicken dry for extra crispy skin.
- Feel free to use boneless thighs; reduce cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For freezing, place cooked thighs on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
