Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 3 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle
  • ½ teaspoon dill weed
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees. Grease the basket with cooking spray.
  • Combine the seasonings in a small bowl, mixing together. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken thighs with the seasonings and press them into the chicken.
  • Pour the buffalo sauce into a small bowl. Dunk the chicken into the sauce and press the sauce into the chicken.
  • Place each chicken into the air fryer, trying not to let them overlap.
  • Air fry for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • They will be done after about 11 minutes; however, I like to keep them in longer to get crispy.
