Air-fried chicken thighs are a delicious and healthier twist on a classic comfort food. These juicy cuts of dark meat are seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices and cooked in an air fryer, which uses hot circulating air for crispiness without the need for excess oil. Popular in American cuisine, this dish offers the satisfying crunch of fried chicken with significantly less fat, making it a lighter option compared to traditional deep-frying methods. Chicken thighs are rich in protein, iron, and zinc while also providing B vitamins for energy. However, they do contain higher fat content than chicken breasts, so portion control is key for staying balanced. Pairing air-fried chicken thighs with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can round out its nutritional profile, offering a flavorful meal that supports a healthier lifestyle without sacrificing taste.
