Description
Crispy and juicy air fryer chicken thighs made with a gluten-free seasoning blend. Perfectly cooked in minutes for a delicious and easy meal.
Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.
Rub the olive oil evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs, pressing gently to adhere.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Flip the chicken thighs so the skin side is up and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
