Ingredients 8
- 8 large boneless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), skin optional, excess fat removed
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
Method 5
- 01
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- 02
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the kosher salt , garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, curry powder, and olive oil. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- 03
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s okay if they’re snug. (For this quantity, you’ll want an air fryer that’s at least 6.5 QT capacity.)
- 04
Cook for 13 to 15 minutes, until the chicken is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads at least 170°F. (If you want less blackening you can flip halfway through, but I like it blackened.)
- 05
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing, if desired.
