Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
- 4 skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Steps
- Set out all the ingredients and preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel and brush the skins with olive oil. Arrange them skin-side down in a single layer on a plate.
- Mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle ½ evenly over the thighs, turn them over, and evenly apply the remaining ½ seasoning mixture. Arrange the thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket with the skins facing up.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for about 18 minutes, until the thighs are brown and their juices run clear. Check with an instant-read thermometer in the centers for a reading of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Serve the thighs and enjoy.
