Ingredients
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (such as herbs de Provence or dried oregano)
Instructions
1- Squeeze the lemon juice evenly over the 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to add a fresh, tangy note.
2- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs.
3- Season both sides of each chicken thigh generously with the spice blend, rubbing it in well for even flavor distribution.
4- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
5- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 24 minutes total, flipping the thighs after about 12 minutes for uniform cooking.
6- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe, juicy results.
7- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to help the juices settle.
