Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Recipe – Juicy & Delicious Every Time

I love making these crispy air fryer chicken thighs – they’re quick, juicy, and so simple to prepare. Try them tonight for a satisfying meal!

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
  4. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up.
  5. Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and skin is crispy.
  6. Remove chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
  • Let the chicken rest to retain its juices.
