Cook Time30 minsTotal Time30 mins
 4 Chicken Thighs
 2 Cloves garlic, pressed (or ¾ tsp garlic powder)
 ½ tsp Salt
 ½ tsp Ground black pepper
 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
 1 tsp Paprika powder
1

Preheat your air fryer to 400° F

2

Use a paper towel to dry the chicken thighs.

3

Brush avocado oil on the chicken thighs.

4

Mix the garlic, salt, pepper and paprika powder in a bowl to create the seasoning.

5

Spread the seasoning on to the chicken, evenly covering each thigh.

6

Place the seasoned chicken thighs in your air fryer basket, creating a single layer and keeping them separate so they’re not touching. To cook more at the same time, you can use a rack to create a double layer, like these ones.

7

Air Fry for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is brown.

8

To make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked, use a food thermometer like the one sold here. Insert the thermometer so the probe is at the center of the thigh piece. Once it’s fully cooked, the thermometer should read 165° F.
