Ingredients
-
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
½ tsp dried thyme
-
½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
-
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
-
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Rub seasoning mixture evenly over chicken thighs.
-
Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
-
Cook for 12 minutes, flip, and cook for another 10–12 minutes until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove and rest for 5 minutes before serving
Notes
-
Boneless, skinless thighs work too—reduce cook time by about 5 minutes.
-
For extra crispiness, spray chicken lightly with cooking spray before air frying.
