Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
