Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs — Juicy, Flavorful, and Effortless

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

  2. Rub with olive oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and any additional spices.

2. Air Fry

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up, ensuring they don’t overlap.

  3. Cook for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

3. Rest & Serve

  1. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.

  2. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
