Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 4 boneless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Pat the chicken dry.
- Rub with olive oil, then coat evenly with the seasonings.
- Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook Times
- Chicken breasts (6–8 oz each): 16–20 minutes at 380°F, flipping halfway.
- Boneless chicken thighs: 14–18 minutes at 380°F, flipping halfway.
- Bone-in thighs: 22–28 minutes at 380°F.
Cook until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Rest
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it juicy.

For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken just before serving or sprinkle with chopped parsley.
