Bone in, skin on chicken thighs.
Roll ‘em in any mix of spices you feel like, spray with oil and cook for 20 min, flipping halfway through. They come out tender and juicy every time and the skin crisps up perfectly. Easy and delicious. Boneless chicken comes out a little dry, definitely use the bone in.

It’s especially nice in the summer to not heat up the house with the oven or keep running in and out to the grill. Also like how the drippings collect in the bottom of the pot thing. Sometimes I use them as the fat to make a roux for sauce, sometimes I just dump some right on my potatoes.

I did catfish a few different ways in the air fryer last week, all turned out well.

Does your oven have convection settings? If so, may be redundant. RockRaven Mar 2024 #9
