For extra crispy chicken, ensure the chicken thighs are patted dry before seasoning. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to your preference for heat. If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs will work, but panko provides a superior crunch. Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches to ensure even cooking and maximum crispness. An instant-read thermometer is essential for ensuring the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
