Description
This recipe delivers juicy, tender chicken thighs with perfectly crispy skin using an air fryer. Quick and easy to prepare, it’s a delicious weeknight dinner option.
Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6-8 ounces each)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the olive oil evenly over both sides of each chicken thigh.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Flip the chicken thighs so the skin side is up and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
