Ingredients
- 4 pieces lean chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not stacked to allow even cooking and crisping.
Step 6
Cook the chicken thighs in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes.
Step 7
After 10 minutes, flip the chicken thighs over to ensure even cooking on both sides.
Step 8
Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the outside is crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly sides, such as a green salad or cauliflower rice.
