Cooking Instructions:
- Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy skin. The drier the skin, the better the crisp!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the avocado oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Mix until well combined. This spice rub is what will give your chicken its incredible flavor.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated. Make sure every inch of the chicken is covered for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating is essential to ensure that your chicken starts cooking immediately, resulting in a crispy exterior.
- Place the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side up. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting time will help the juices redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and tender. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding cayenne pepper to your spice mix for a spicy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness, about 5-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
