Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3-5 minutes.
2️⃣ Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels for maximum crispiness.
3️⃣ In a bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until well coated.
4️⃣ Place chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
5️⃣ Cook at 380°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and edges are crispy.
6️⃣ Let rest for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Cook in batches if necessary – avoid overcrowding the basket.
Spray chicken lightly with cooking oil for extra crispiness.
Use a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked, juicy chicken.
Adjust seasoning to your preference (lemon pepper, Cajun, Italian herbs).
