Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (Pat dry before seasoning)
• 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (Freshly ground preferred)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (Optional, for extra crispiness)
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (Optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (Optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
4. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket skin-side down, making sure they do not overlap.
5. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
6. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
