Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the honey Dijon marinade. If you have time, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

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

        Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure to leave space between each piece for optimal air circulation.

          Cook the Chicken: Air fry the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is a deep golden color.

            Rest and Serve: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired, and serve alongside your favorite vegetables or a fresh salad.
