Description

Recipe for making chicken thighs crispy in an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
  4. Air fry at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
  5. Flip the chicken thighs.
  6. Continue to air fry at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the skin with cooking spray before the final cooking time.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the size of your chicken thighs.
