Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
  • Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, making sure to coat them evenly.
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken thighs, rubbing it into the skin.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Make sure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
  • Cook the chicken thighs at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken thighs. It's always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
