Ingredients
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh herbs and lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Use a paper towel to thoroughly pat the chicken thighs dry, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the chicken with olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Add paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken until all pieces are evenly coated in the spice mixture.
- Arrange the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket with the skin side facing downward. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn the chicken thighs over and continue cooking at the same temperature for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges for added flavor.
Notes
Adjust the seasoning to taste if desired. For a crispier texture, ensure the chicken skin is thoroughly dried before seasoning.
