Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs (4 bone-in with skin or 6 boneless skinless)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the seasoning mixture and rub the mixture on both sides of the chicken.
  5. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Cook for 15-20 minutes (15 minutes for boneless thighs and 20 minutes for bone-in) until they are cooked through or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  2. Serve immediately with a salad or side of your choice.

Notes

Make sure to pat the chicken thighs dry; this helps them get crispy. You can marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for a few hours or overnight for even more flavor. Check the internal temperature to ensure they reach 165 degrees F for safe eating.
