Directions

1Pat your bone-in chicken thighs dry to remove excess moisture.
2Season the meat side with kosher salt.

5Add the seasoned chicken to a bowl.
6Mix the seasonings and a tablespoon of neutral oil into the chicken until evenly coated.

Tips

Salt the chicken ahead of time to retain moisture and season throughout.
Use baking powder on the skin for extra crispiness.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels after the first air fry to remove excess moisture and achieve crispier skin.
Using bone-in chicken thighs is recommended for juiciness and flavor.
Air fry chicken thighs for 12 minutes at 400°F (200°C), flip, pat dry, and air fry for another 12-14 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for doneness (not explicitly stated in video but general chicken cooking rule).
