- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Brush each thigh with the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray in a single layer, skin side down.
- Air fry the chicken thighs at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, flip the chicken thighs using tongs and air fry for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Once done, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the crispy grilled chicken thighs hot with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.
