Ingredients
4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes
Pat chicken dry with paper towels
Brush each thigh with olive oil

Place thighs in air fryer basket (do not overcrowd)
Cook 12 minutes, flip, and cook 6 more minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F

Use skin-on thighs for optimal crispiness
For extra crunch, broil 1-2 minutes under oven (watch closely)
Marinate overnight for deeper flavor
