Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 spray bottle Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This will help the seasoning stick better.
Step 4
Lightly spray the chicken thighs with olive oil spray on both sides.
Step 5
Rub the mixed seasoning evenly onto each chicken thigh, ensuring all sides are coated.
Step 6
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; if necessary, cook in batches.
Step 7
Cook the chicken thighs in the air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for 18-20 minutes. Flip the thighs halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.
Step 8
Check for doneness by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C). If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
Step 10
Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken thighs before serving for added zest and freshness.
