Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs completely dry using paper towels. This helps achieve a better exterior texture.
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (195 degrees Celsius) for 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 15 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs over.
- Continue to air fry for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) when checked with a meat thermometer in the thickest part.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If your thighs are very thick, you may need to add 2-3 minutes to the total cooking time.
- Always check the internal temperature to confirm doneness for food safety.
