Mustard Chicken Thigh Salad

Crispy Air Fryer Mustard Chicken Thighs

Crispy Air Fryer Mustard Chicken Thighs are packed full of flavor and ready in under 20 minutes! Chicken thighs are coated in mustard and dipped in panko breadcrumbs and parsley. Then, the breaded thighs are sprayed with olive oil and air fried to crispy perfection. I love serving these crispy mustard chicken thighs on top of a hearty salad.
