Ingredients:
– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Marinade:**
– In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, and dried thyme.
2. **Marinate the Chicken:**
– Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
– Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
– Pour the honey-mustard marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.
3. **Preheat the Air Fryer:**
– Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. **Air Fry the Chicken:**
– Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
– Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down, in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
– Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
5. **Serve:**
– Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
– Serve hot, with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice.
