Easy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (you can also use boneless)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano (or thyme)

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken

   • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels (this helps them crisp up).

   • Rub olive oil over the chicken.

2. Season

   • In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.

   • Sprinkle seasoning evenly over chicken thighs and rub it in.

3. Air Fry

   • Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C).

   • Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the basket (don’t overcrowd).

   • Cook for 12 minutes, flip, then cook another 10–12 minutes until crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. Rest & Serve

   • Let rest 5 minutes before serving for maximum juiciness.

   • Serve with a side of roasted veggies, salad, or mashed potatoes.
