Air fryer roasted chicken thighs easy to make

Have you ever had a cold weekend afternoon when you were suddenly hit by a strong aroma of barbecue, making you drool? I have, and that aroma came from my own kitchen! Just last weekend, I used an air fryer to bake a pot of golden and crispy chicken thighs. The taste made me wonder if I was a hidden cooking god.
Here’s what happened. I originally planned to go out for food that day, but the wind outside was so strong that I shivered. I suddenly remembered that there were a few chicken thighs in the refrigerator, and then I looked at the air fryer in the corner. I suddenly had an idea and decided to make a big meal at home. I used the air fryer only occasionally to bake French fries before, and I was a little nervous about using it to bake chicken thighs this time.
