1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels on all sides, including under any loose skin flaps. Dry skin is essential for crispness — any surface moisture will steam rather than crisp in the air fryer.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, if using, until combined.
