Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

Directions

  1. 1Pat chicken thighs dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. 2Season the meat side with kosher salt and let the salt absorb into the meat for 15 minutes to keep your chicken thighs nice and juicy.
  3. 3Mix together your favorite spices, garlic powder, thyme, paprika along with salt and pepper.
  4. 4Mix the seasonings and a tablespoon of neutral oil into the chicken until evenly coated.
  5. 5Rub a quarter teaspoon of baking powder only on the skin until it's no longer visible.
  6. 6Lay the chicken skin side down in your air fryer.
  7. 7Air fry at 400 for 12 minutes, then flip over the chicken and pat the skin dry.
  8. 8Air fry again for another 12 to 14 minutes until the thighs are crispy and cooked through.
