Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 to 2 lbs)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black pepper

Optional: ¼ tsp cayenne pepper for heat

Directions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.

Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket (do not overcrowd).

Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.

Flip thighs skin-side up and cook for another 10–12 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is crispy and golden.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the juices inside.
