Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, combine:

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper
  Mix well to create your seasoning blend.

3. Prep the Chicken
Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub the chicken with olive oil, coating evenly.

4. Season the Chicken
Sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken thighs.
Rub the seasoning into the skin to infuse flavor.

5. Arrange in Air Fryer
Place the thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket.
Ensure pieces do not touch for even crisping.

6. Air Fry
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.

7. Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the thighs and cook for an additional 8–10 minutes,
or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
and the skin is crispy and golden.

8. Rest and Serve
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving for juicier meat.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Cooking time may vary depending on thigh size. Use a meat thermometer for best results.

• Serve with roasted veggies, salad, or over rice for a complete meal.
