Ingredients
  

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well blended.

      Coat the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated.

        Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the marinated chicken thighs, ensuring they are generously coated on all sides.

          Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side up. Ensure there is enough space between them for optimal airflow.

            Air Fry: Cook the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and have a golden, crispy skin.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
