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 your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Rub the olive oil all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs and rub it in gently so it adheres well to the skin.
Step 6
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping.
Step 7
Air fry the chicken thighs for 12 minutes, then flip them over and continue cooking for an additional 10-13 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken thighs hot, optionally with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
