  • 3 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 F.
  • Combine the seasonings and rub over all sides of each chicken thigh.
  • Spray the inside of the air fryer with oil. Place chicken thighs skin side down in a single layer on the grate. Cook for 15 minutes. Flip so that they are now meat side down and cook for another 5 minutes.
    Very large thighs may need to be cooked for up to 10 minutes after flipping instead of 5 minutes.
