Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For boneless chicken thighs, reduce the cooking time by 5-7 minutes.
Marinate the chicken for a few hours before cooking to enhance the flavor.
To cook frozen chicken thighs, add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time and ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Vegetables can be cooked alongside the chicken in the air fryer; just ensure they’re cut to a similar size for even cooking.
