Air-Fryer Chicken Thighs *Your air-fryer is the fastest way to get chicken with the juiciest, most flavorful meat and crispiest skin.* 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (~8 oz. each), patted dry 1 3/4 tsp. Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil Brine Chicken: Place chicken thighs on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Using paper towels, pat chicken dry. In a small bowl, whisk salt, pepper, and baking powder together. Rub chicken all over with salt mixture. Refrigerate chicken skin-side up, uncovered, at least 1 hr. and up to 24 hr. Remove chicken from fridge and drizzle evenly with oil and desired seasonings, if using (see below for variations). Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 400°F for 5 min. Place chicken, skin-side down, in preheated air fryer basket and cook until skin begins to render, about 12 min. Using tongs, flip chicken skin-side up and return to air fryer. Continue cooking at 400°F until skin is crispy and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 175°F, 6 - 8 more min. Remove chicken from air fryer and let rest at room temperature for 10 min. before serving.
