Crispy and juicy air fryer chicken thighs made gluten free with a flavorful seasoning blend. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a quick and delicious meal.
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Rub olive oil evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, rubbing it in to coat all sides.
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 without overlapping.
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.
