Cooking Instructions
- Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up nicely. Place the chicken in a mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix together the avocado oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Pour this mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps to kickstart the cooking process and ensures the thighs cook evenly.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up. Make sure they are arranged in a single layer to allow for proper air circulation.
- Air fry the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the thighs, so check for doneness with a meat thermometer.
- Once cooked through and crispy, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides, like a fresh salad or Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan.
Notes
- Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To rewarm, place the chicken back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices to customize the flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket for the best results.
- Using a meat thermometer can ensure your chicken is cooked to the perfect temperature (165°F).
