Description
This recipe provides instructions for making crispy chicken thighs in an air fryer. It uses common seasonings for a flavorful result.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps ensure crispy skin.
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Drizzle the chicken thighs with olive oil, then rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, making sure to coat both sides.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin-side up. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 18-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken thighs halfway through cooking.
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Patting the chicken dry helps achieve crispy skin.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
