Ingredients
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp mixed herbs
- ½ tsp garlic granules (optional)
- 4 chicken thighs, bone in
- 1 tsp olive oil
Method
Combine the paprika in a bowl with the herbs and garlic granules, if using, together with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Scatter onto a plate. Rub the chicken thighs with the oil, then coat in the spice mix.
Put in the basket of your air fryer and cook, skin-side down, for 10 mins. Turn over and cook for a further 10-15 mins until cooked through and the skin is crispy. To check they are cooked, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a knife to see if the juices run clear. Remove from the air fryer immediately to stop the skin from softening.
