Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the seasonings. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over each thigh, then generously coat with the spice mixture. Season both sides and under the skin, if possible.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Once preheated, arrange the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up in the basket in a single layer without letting them touch. Air fry for 12 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured at the thickest part of the thigh.
  • Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes on a clean plate or cutting board.
