Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- Mix the Spices: In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, then generously coat them with the spice mixture, ensuring both sides are well covered.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook: Air fry for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful meat.
