Description

These Crispy Easy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs are perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Made in just 30 minutes, they’re a quick and healthy dinner option everyone will love!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to ensure crispy skin.
  3. Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin-side up.
  5. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
  • You can also use boneless, skinless thighs, but the cooking time may vary slightly.
  • Make sure to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer for safe consumption.
