Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken thigh.
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken thighs and rub it in to coat evenly.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, in a small bowl whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
After 10 minutes, flip the chicken thighs skin-side up. Brush the honey glaze generously over the skin.
Continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and caramelized.
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
