Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 spray bottle Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This will help the seasoning stick better.
Lightly spray the chicken thighs with olive oil spray on both sides.
Rub the mixed seasoning evenly onto each chicken thigh, ensuring all sides are coated.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; if necessary, cook in batches.
Cook the chicken thighs in the air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for 18-20 minutes. Flip the thighs halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.
Check for doneness by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C). If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken thighs before serving for added zest and freshness.
