DirectionsGet to the point
1Pat 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2Place thighs SKIN-SIDE DOWN in air fryer basket.
3Air fry at 380°F for 12 minutes, then flip SKIN-SIDE UP.
4Cook 10 more minutes until skin crackles and internal temp reaches 180°F.
Dad pro tip

Always start bone-in thighs skin-side DOWN. If you cook skin-side UP the whole time, the fat won't render completely and the skin turns chewy instead of glass-crisp.

Kid adjustment

Remove the bone and slice the crispy thigh meat into strips for toddlers.

Reheat

Reheat in air fryer at 380°F for 4 minutes to restore crackling skin. Never microwave.
