Description
This air fryer chicken recipe yields perfectly crispy and juicy chicken pieces with minimal oil, making it a healthier alternative to traditional frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook the chicken for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- You can use chicken breasts or drumsticks instead of thighs if preferred.
- Feel free to adjust the spices based on your taste preferences.
