Ingredients

4 Chicken thighs Skin on, bone in
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic granules
1.5 tsp Dried oregano
2 tsp Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Season to taste

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 180℃/350F (this usually takes 5 - 10 minutes depending on the model).
Pat the chicken skin dry with a piece of kitchen towel and set to one side.
Mix the spices and olive oil together, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and rub all over the chicken thighs.
Place the chicken thighs skin side down in a single later and cook for 10 minutes, then turn them so they are skin side up and cook for 10 minutes more.
Leave to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results: Preheat the air fryer, don’t overcrowd the grill, and turn once half way.

Storing: You can make a batch of chicken that you can use for up to 3 days. Slice up for sandwiches, salads or use in other recipes. Keep refrigerated.

If using skinless, boneless thighs: Reduce cooking time by 5 minutes.

Check internal temperature: If in doubt, check your meat thermometer to make sure they’re cooked through.
