This quick and easy chipotle chicken recipe is made with boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts). It's smoky, spicy, and delicious for homemade burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas, and more.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (trimmed of fat (about 8 thighs))
• 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (and fresh ground black pepper, to taste)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced or crushed)
• 1/2 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce (or 1 full tbsp to make it spicier, from 1 can*)
• 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in batches as needed in the air fryer basket.
2. Cook the chicken for 14-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to confirm it has reached 165°F.
3. Once cooked, transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This step ensures that the chicken remains juicy and flavorful. Slice it up and serve in tacos, rice bowls, etc.
