Ingredients
- 4 chicken thigh bone-in
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- herbs for garnish; fresh herbs and lemon wedges
- lemon for garnish; fresh herbs and lemon wedges
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Then put the chicken pieces in a large bowl.
- Drizzle them with the oil. Add the paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss them to coat the chicken with the spices.
- Put them in the air fryer basket, with the skin side down. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- Flip the thighs over and air fry for another 10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, don't just rely on cooking time.
- Use different spices for seasoning if desired. Italian seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning or a BBQ rub are all tasty options.
- Pat them dry before air frying.
- Don't skip using oil.
- Start cooking them with the skin side down, so the fat renders into the skin. But make sure to flip them over, so both sides are brown.
- Don't overcrowd the basket, and keep the chicken in a single layer.
- Marinated chicken is delicious but not as crispy. Stick with dry spices when you want crispy chicken.
