Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure they get crispy.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin for more flavor.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side up. Do not overcrowd the basket.
Step 6
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute for optimal flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your Whole30 compliant meal.
