Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and rub evenly.
  • Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Place chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 14–16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the basket; this ensures crispy edges.
Add cayenne or chili powder if you prefer a spicier flavor.
For a saucier version, brush with BBQ sauce during the last 2 minutes.
