Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Sprinkle pepper
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or olive oil cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees.
- Use a meat tenderizer to pound any thick parts of the chicken thigh so that they are as close to uniform thickness as possible.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and brush each piece with olive oil or olive oil spray.
- Combine seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle half the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken thighs. Turn thighs over and evenly sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture on top. Place chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Fry in the preheated air fryer until chicken is golden and juices run clear, about 16-18 minutes, turning halfway. A digital meat thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F.
