For extra crispy skin, you can lightly spray the chicken thighs with cooking oil before air frying. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings! Onion powder, chili powder, or Italian seasoning would all be delicious additions. Ensure your chicken thighs are of similar size for even cooking. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so keep a close eye on the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking.
