Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
- Coat the chicken thighs with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix together paprika, Italian seasoning, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Add the seasoning mixture to the chicken and make sure each piece is coated well.
Cooking
- Place the chicken thighs, skin side down, in the basket of the air fryer.
- Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 7-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Notes
Make sure to dry the chicken thighs well for a better crisp. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes before cooking for even more flavor. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Serve hot with sides of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
