- 4 lb bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Instructions

Pat 4 bone-in, skin-on thighs completely dry and rub with olive oil.

- 3
Place skin-side down in the basket and air fry at 380°F for 12 minutes.

Chef's tip
Dry the skin thoroughly and don't overcrowd : moisture and steam are the enemies of crispy chicken skin.
Suggested pairing
Serve with a crisp white wine or a chilled lager and a lemony green salad.
