Description

Juicy and flavorful air fryer chicken thighs, perfect for a cozy fall dinner.


Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (skin on)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for garnish


Instructions

  1. Clean the chicken thighs: Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Season generously: Combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss the chicken thighs until coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer: Set to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the thighs: Place chicken in the air fryer basket, skin-side up, ensuring there’s enough space between them.
  5. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
