Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning paste.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
