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.
