Crispy and Juicy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

Rub them with olive oil, then season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and optional herbs.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes.

Air Fry the Chicken:

Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin-side down.

Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 18 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 8–10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Rest and Serve:

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
