Grab those bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs from the fridge and whip up these crispy air fryer chicken thighs tonight! In less than 30 minutes, you’ll have a tasty, family-friendly dinner ready to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat and skin
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Equipment
- Air fryer (Here’s the air fryer I recommend on Amazon)
- Meat thermometer (Click here for the one I recommend on Amazon)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for 5 minutes. Once preheated, spray with cooking spray if desired.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a bowl with a lid. Add the kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, and onion powder. Shake well to coat the chicken.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the bag or bowl and arrange them in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Cook for 12 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs skin side up and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. For extra crispy skin, continue cooking in 4-minute increments until the desired crispiness is achieved.
- The chicken is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F. Cooking time may vary based on the size of your chicken thighs and the wattage of your air fryer.
- Serve and enjoy!
