In a small bowl, combine olive oil, gluten-free soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to make the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure even coating. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or longer if time allows.
Preheat your air fryer to 375Β°F (190Β°C) for about 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side down.
Cook for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the chicken thighs over and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the skin is crispy and browned.
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken thighs warm with your favorite side dishes.
