Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub olive oil evenly over each chicken thigh.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs, pressing gently to adhere.
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, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
Flip the chicken thighs so the skin side is up and cook for an additional 13 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.
