Pull those bone in, skin on chicken thighs out of the refrigerator and make these air fryer crispy chicken thighs tonight!  In under 30 minutes you will have a delicious family friendly dinner. This is the perfect way to cook chicken thighs for that extra crispy skin and no need to heat up the oven. Personally, I think the air fryer is the best invention besides a home coffee maker.  I enjoy my Toshiba air fryer chicken thighs just about everyday! I love to make burgers, pork tenderloin, crispy pork chops, and even crispy Brussels sprouts.

My method for crispy chicken thigh skin
I start by pre-heating the air fryer before I spray with cooking spray.  I do this only when I want my food to be really crispy. I make sure the chicken thighs are patted dry and any excess skin is cut away. Then I mix the chicken thighs with all of the seasonings. Now we can place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket skin side down. I do this so the skin can start to render the fat without browning the skin too much. I also do this with my Toshiba air fryer chicken thighs recipe. My Air fryer has a 6 quart basket so 4 chicken thighs fit perfectly. If your air fryer is smaller you would need to cook these in batches. After the chicken thighs cook skin side down, we can flip them over and continue to cook them until the skin is nice and crispy and the internal temperature is 165F.

Instructions
1.Preheat your air fryer to 380F for 5 minutes. After pre-heating, spray with cooking spray.
2.Add the chicken thighs to a large zip-top bag or a bowl with a lid. Top with the kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano and onion powder. Shake to coat.
3.Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer, skin side down, for 12 minutes.
4.Turn your chicken thighs skin side up and cook for 10 minutes more. If you would like your chicken thighs super crispy. Cook for 4 minutes increments to get your desired crispness.
5.Thighs are done when an internal meat thermometer reads 165F. Serve.
