Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400F.
- Add chicken thighs to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Toss to coat.
- Place chicken in air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Cook until internal temperature reaches at least 165F (I prefer 175–185F for best texture).
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Try to use chicken thighs that are similar in size so they cook evenly
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket or they won’t brown as well
- Flip halfway through cooking for the best texture
- Use a meat thermometer and cook to at least 165F
- For more tender chicken, I usually cook mine closer to 175–185F
- If your chicken thighs are smaller, start checking closer to 18–20 minutes
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving so the juices settle
