Equipment
- 1 Air fryer I used Ninja
- 1 bowl
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt or more by taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Pat dry chicken thighs with a paper towel. Rub or brush each chicken thigh with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon brown sugar ¼ teaspoon chili powder. Rub the spice mix generously onto the chicken.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes to 390°F. Spray the bottom of the basket with some cooking spray. Arrange seasoned chicken thighs in single layer. Cook at 390°F for 9 minutes, flip it on the other side and cook for another 6-9 minutes or until the internal temperature is at least 165°F. For best results let it cook until the internal temperature gets to 176℉.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the air fryer and cook chicken thighs in batches if needed.
