Air fryer Chicken Thighs

Ingredients:


4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)


Instructions:

Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (380°F) for about 5 minutes.


Prepare the chicken. Pat chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture. By doing this, you can make it crispy in the air fryer.

Season the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and any herbs and spices you like. Rub the chicken thighs with this mixture to make sure they are evenly coated. To air fry chicken: Place chicken thighs in a single layer, skin side up, in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to touch each other. If your airfryer is small, you may need to cook in batches.

Cook: Air fry the chicken thighs at 190°C (380°F) for 25-30 minutes.

You will need to flip the legs halfway through the cooking time (about 15 minutes) to ensure even crispiness. Check for doneness: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) and the skin is crispy. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the chicken thighs and the model of airfryer you have.
