Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken thighs.
Cooking
  1. Place chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up.
  2. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
  3. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for better crispiness. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
