Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF and spray the inside of the basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the chicken by patting them dry with a piece of paper towel.
Add the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and brown sugar to a bowl and mix until combined. Then sprinkle the dry rub over the chicken thighs. Be sure the dry rub covers the entire chicken thigh.
Place the chicken thighs skin side down into the air fryer and drizzle the chicken thighs with olive oil. You may have to do this in two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Set the air fryer for 8 minutes, flip the chicken thighs, and cook the chicken thighs for an additional 6-10 minutes depending on the size of your thighs.
If the internal temperature of the chicken is 160ºF - 165ºF and the skin is crispy, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer. If you would like your chicken thighs crispier, cook them for an additional 2 minutes. Let the chicken sit for 3-5 minutes and enjoy.
- The cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs.
- If you're using boneless, skinless thighs, decrease the cooking time by 2-4 minutes.
- For best results, do not stack the chicken thighs in the air fryer.
