Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.
  2. Cook for about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden.
  3. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the seasoning; adding a pinch of cayenne can add delightful heat. For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket and consider marinating the thighs for added flavor.
