Instructions

Prepare the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground thyme, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
This spice blend will infuse the chicken thighs with layers of bold flavor.
Coat the Chicken Thighs
Place the skinless chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the thighs, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the chicken cooks evenly and achieves a perfect golden-brown crust.
Air Fry the Chicken Thighs
Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for 3-5 minutes. This step helps the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender.

Laura's Recipe Tips

Don't overcrowd the air fryer. Cook in batches if necessary because if there isn't room for the air to flow, your chicken thighs will steam and you won't get a crispy air fried texture. Nobody likes soggy chicken. 🤭
