Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure they get crispy.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin for more flavor.
Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side up. Do not overcrowd the basket.
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute for optimal flavor.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your Whole30 compliant meal.
