Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, add the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

  • Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, smooth side down.

  • Cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  • Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Always cook chicken in a single layer—stacking prevents proper browning

  • Flip halfway for even cooking and better texture

  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking

  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model
