Steps
Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then transfer to a bowl.
Combine all the seasonings together in a bowl, then pour them into the bowl with the chicken and use your hands to coat the chicken with the spices.
Preheat your air fryer to 380° (mine took 3 minutes to preheat). Then, place chicken smooth side down into the air fryer, spray with nonstick spray/olive oil spray, and cook at 380° for 12 minutes. NOTE: every air fryer is different, so cook times may vary.
Once the air fryer beeps, use kitchen tongs to flip the chicken over, and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes on the second side, or until chicken is cooked through.

Donna on 2026-08-04 (5 stars): We absolutely loved your recipe! My husband said it was definitely a keeper!!
Pami on 2026-07-26 (5 stars): OMG, so good! I don’t have oregano, so I used Italian seasoning. I think next time (and there WILL be a next time), I’m going to cook on the charcoal grill. I added a little cayenne, just a sprinkle, to the spice mix
