Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin-side up if applicable. Do not overcrowd the basket.
Cook the chicken thighs in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are crispy on the outside.
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer, let them rest for 5 minutes, then serve. Enjoy your juicy, dairy-free air-fried chicken thighs!
