Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Crispy and juicy air fryer chicken thighs that are quick to prepare, perfect for busy weeknights or impressing guests.
Ingredients
For the chicken
- 4 pieces chicken thighs Bone-in, skin-on preferred for crispiness
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Helps seasonings adhere and adds flavor
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika For color and flavor
- 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper Freshly ground preferred
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Can substitute with other dried herbs
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Coat the chicken thighs with the seasoning mixture evenly.
Cooking
- Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Pat the chicken thighs dry before seasoning to help the skin get crispy. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed for even cooking. Experiment with different spices or marinades to customize the flavor.
