Crispy Seasoned Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 4 thighs / 772 g Skin-on chicken thighs, for the rub
• 1 Tbsp / 13.5 g Olive oil, for the thighs
• 1 tsp / 3.1 g Garlic powder, for the thighs
• 1 tsp / 2.4 g Onion powder, for the thighs
• 1 tsp / 2.3 g Paprika, for the thighs
• 1 tsp / 1 g Dried oregano, for the thighs
• 1 tsp / 2.1 g Ground cumin, for the thighs
• 1 tsp / 6 g Salt, for the thighs
• 1/2 tsp / 1.15 g Black pepper, for the thighs

Method

1. Use the measured thighs from the post. The post's yield is 4 servings. The post does not give a total time. The cook is 20 to 25 minutes, and the thighs rest a few minutes after. This card calls the whole thing about 35 minutes. The post says to lightly spray the basket with oil. That spray is not weighed, so it is not in the count. The post says to add more seasoning if you want. That extra is not in the count. A vegetable or a starch beside the thighs is not in the ingredient list, so it is not in the count.
2. Pat 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry. The post says 4 thighs and does not weigh them. One USDA thigh with skin is 193 g of meat and skin, so 4 are 772 g. That portion does not include the bone. Toss the thighs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. The post says 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil. A tablespoon on the olive oil row is 13.5 g. The 15 ml is the spoon volume. The post says paprika and does not say smoked. The post says dried oregano and does not say ground, so this card uses the leaf teaspoon, 1 g. Ground oregano is 1.8 g per teaspoon and is not used. The post says ground cumin. The cumin row's teaspoon is whole seed, 2.1 g. The post says salt and does not say kosher, so this card uses table salt. A teaspoon is 6 g. The pepper is 1.15 g.
3. Heat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C). The post says 400°F (205°C). Lightly spray the basket so the skin does not stick. That spray is not weighed, so it is not in the count. Set the thighs in one layer, skin side up. Leave space around them. If they do not fit, cook the rest in a second batch. A crowded basket steams the skin.
4. Air fry 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The post says the time depends on the size of the thighs. They are done when the skin is caramelized and the thickest part of a thigh reads 165°F (75°C). If a thigh is still under that, give it more time. Rest the thighs a few minutes. Four thighs is the post's yield, one thigh each. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge. Reheat them until the chicken is hot in the center again.

Nutrition

Kitchen estimate only, not lab-verified. Counted as 1 of 4 thighs. The post's yield is 4. The chicken, the olive oil, the garlic powder, the onion powder, the paprika, the oregano, the cumin, the salt, and the pepper are in the count. The basket spray is not weighed, so it is not in the count. Extra seasoning, if you add more, is not in the count. A side vegetable or starch is not in the count. The chicken is 4 bone-in, skin-on thighs. One USDA thigh with skin is 193 g of meat and skin, so 4 are 772 g. That weight does not include the bone. One serving is one thigh, 193 g of meat and skin, raw. The oil is 1 tablespoon, 13.5 g. The post wrote 15 ml. That is the spoon volume. The garlic powder is 1 teaspoon, 3.1 g. The onion powder is 1 teaspoon, 2.4 g. The paprika is 1 teaspoon, 2.3 g. The post did not say smoked. The oregano is 1 teaspoon of dried leaves, 1 g, because the post did not say ground. The cumin is 1 teaspoon, 2.1 g. The row's teaspoon is whole seed. The salt is 1 teaspoon of table salt, 6 g, because the post did not say kosher. The pepper is 1/2 teaspoon, 1.15 g, ground. Added sugars are 0. The post did not list a sweetener. The sugars in the spices are under 1 g per thigh and round to 0. The salt is the salty part. One thigh is 740 mg sodium.

Short kitchen notes for guests. A fuller gluten-free or dairy-free ingredient list, when we have one, is in the panels below.

• Dairy-free

  This plate is chicken, olive oil, and the named spices. It has no milk and no butter. It is already dairy-free as written. Read a spice jar if the label lists milk. The basket spray, if the can lists milk, needs the same note. This is a kitchen note, not a dairy-free certification.

  • United States: There is no milk or butter on the plate. It is already dairy-free as written. Read the spice jars.
  • United Kingdom: The same note. This plate does not call for milk or butter.

• Gluten-free style

  The chicken, the olive oil, and the named spices do not call for wheat. There is no breading. It is already gluten-free as written. A spice jar can be packed with wheat. Read the jars. The basket spray needs the same read. This is a kitchen note, not a gluten-free certification.

  • United States: There is no flour and no breading. It is already gluten-free as written. Read the spice jars.
  • United Kingdom: The same note. This plate does not call for wheat. Read the spice jars.
