Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Can substitute with avocado or coconut oil.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh garlic can be used for a robust taste.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Fresh onions can be used for a robust taste.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika is a great option for added flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.
  • In a bowl, coat the chicken thighs with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well seasoned.

Cooking

  • Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd.
  • Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken is done when its internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Resting

  • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain juices and enhance flavor.

Notes

Avoid opening the air fryer frequently as it may affect cooking time. You can prepare and season the chicken thighs a day ahead and store in the fridge. Cooked chicken can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
