Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl combine honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken thighs, coat well, and let marinate 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  4. Arrange thighs in a single layer in the basket.
  5. Cook 18‑20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
