Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the seasoning mixture and rub the chicken thighs with it on both sides.
  • Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, depending on the chicken thighs being used (15 minutes for boneless and 20 minutes for bone- in) until cooked through or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Serve immediately with a salad or a side of your choice.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. To reheat, just place in the airfryer at 360°F for 2-3 minutes until heated through and crispy. You can also reheat in the microwave but the chicken won't retain its crispy texture that way.
