Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. bone-in chicken thighs (We used 4 bone-in and skin-on chicken thighs from Trader Joe's)
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF and spray the inside of the basket with non-stick cooking spray.

2. 2

   Add the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and brown sugar to a bowl and mix until combined.

3. 3

   Pat the chicken thighs dry with a piece of paper towel and sprinkle the dry rub over the chicken thighs. Be sure the dry rub covers the entire chicken thigh.

4. 4

   Place the chicken thighs skin-side down into the air fryer and drizzle them with olive oil. You may have to do this in two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

5. 5

   Air fry for 8 minutes. Flip, and air fryer for 8 more minutes. If the internal temperature of the chicken is 160ºF - 165ºF and the skin is crispy, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer. If you would like your chicken thighs crispier, cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the chicken sit for 3-5 minutes and enjoy.
