Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, or more
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- Parmesan cheese or tzatziki, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika and garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix until the seasoning blends into the oil. Use more oil if it needs more help dissolving.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the chicken thighs onto the baking sheet. With a cooking brush, dip into the olive oil mixture and brush onto each piece of chicken on both sides.

- Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Take the chicken out and garnish with parsley. Serve with tzatziki on the side or parmesan cheese on top.
