Instructions

  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper. 
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and ranch seasoning.

  • Add the chicken thighs, skin side up to the Air Fryer basket. 
  • Cook at 400°F until golden brown until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, about 14-16 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If you don’t have ranch seasoning, you can use 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried dill, and 1/4 teaspoon celery salt.
