Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs about 1.5 lbs
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Combine seasonings in a large bowl.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels then drizzle oil over chicken thighs.
- Add chicken to the bowl with the seasonings and toss to coat, using your hands to rub the seasonings in. Make sure to get under the skin as well for extra flavor.
- Preheat air fryer at 375°F for 3-5 minutes.
- Add chicken thighs, skin side down to your air fryer basket. Ideally, the chicken thighs aren’t touching. If they are, you may want to cook them in batches. Cook for about 10 minutes, flip and continue cooking for 7-8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and crisp.
- Remove from air fryer and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
