Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5–6 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, pepper, cumin, salt, and baking powder.

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove moisture. Rub each piece with olive oil on both sides.

Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over both sides of the chicken and rub in to coat well.

Place chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side down. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.

Flip the thighs and cook for another 6–10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature is at least 165°F. For extra flavor, cook to 185–195°F if desired.

Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
