Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve a crispy skin.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to form a seasoning paste.
Step 4
Rub the seasoning paste evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side up.
Step 6
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
Step 7
Halfway through cooking (at about 10-12 minutes), you may open the air fryer and baste the chicken with the juices collected at the bottom of the air fryer basket.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
