Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If your air fryer doesn’t have a pre-heat feature, let it run at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes before adding the chicken.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken thighs and rub it into the skin.
- Mix the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to coat both sides and under the skin.
- Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin-side down, in a single layer. Cook for 12 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs so the skin side is facing up, and cook for another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
