Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. This helps them crisp up in the air fryer.
Season the Chicken
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Rub olive oil over both sides of the chicken thighs.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring all sides are coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
- Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow air to circulate properly.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken thighs.
- Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest and Serve
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute.
Enjoy these flavorful chicken thighs with your favorite sides or as part of a hearty salad!
