• seasonings

  to taste (use salt and pepper, or ½‑1 tsp of any of smoked BBQ, ras‑el‑hanout, granulated garlic, etc.)

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Coat the chicken thighs in oil, covering them evenly.

2. 2

   Mix the flour with the spices, then dredge the thighs in the resulting mixture – this creates a light coating; optionally double the amount of flour and spices for a thicker crust.

3. 3

   Place the thighs in a single layer on the air‑fryer tray (without a stirrer) and set the timer for 35 minutes. Check doneness by pulling the meat away from the bone at the lower end of a thigh – it should separate easily and show no pink. If necessary, continue cooking for another 5–10 minutes. The skin should brown and become crispy, and excess fat will drain into the bottom of the appliance (you can discard it). Do not leave the chicken in the device, otherwise steam will soften the skin.
