Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 5 minutes, then spray with cooking spray.
- Trim any excess fat or skin from the chicken thighs. Place the thighs in a large resealable bag and set aside.
- Combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Add this seasoning mix to the bag with the chicken thighs and shake to coat thoroughly.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, spray the basket with olive oil. Arrange the chicken thighs in the basket, skin side down, and cook for 12 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs over and cook for an additional 10 minutes until they reach the desired crispiness.
- Check the internal temperature with a digital thermometer; the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more spices if desired.
Letting the chicken rest helps keep it juicy. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
