Sure! Here’s a simple and delicious air fryer chicken thighs recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help the skin become crispy.
- Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, making sure to coat them evenly. Then sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in to ensure even seasoning.
- Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Cook for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to allow the skin to crisp up.
- After 10 minutes, flip the chicken thighs over so that the skin side is facing up. Continue cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If desired, you can increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last few minutes to further crisp up the skin.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and keep the meat tender.
Serve the air fryer chicken thighs with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your flavorful and crispy chicken thighs!
