How to Make 15-Minute Air Fryer Chicken
  1. Trim excess fat from your chicken thighs or breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  3. Coat each piece of chicken in the seasoning mixture, ensuring they're evenly covered.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 7-8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
