Smoky Paprika Aioli (My current favorite sauce with this): : Whisk 1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 cup yogurt, 1 clove freshly grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt (more to taste).
Masala Coverage on Chicken: Each package of chicken thighs is a slightly different size, so if your package is 1.5 pounds or more (or if you like a lot of spices), you may want to add a few extra shakes of spices to get more complete spice coverage!
Preheating the Air Fryer: I don’t preheat my air fryer. I simply add the chicken, turn on the air fryer, and then make sure to use a meat thermometer to check that it’s fully cooked.
Air Fryer Layer: I don’t attach the air fryer basket to anything. I place the chicken thighs directly on the grill grate.
Flipping the Chicken: I don’t even turn the chicken thighs in the middle. I have tried it, but I like the texture more, only the top is crispy and the bottom is a little juicy. If you feel you want both the top and bottom sides to be slightly crisp, you can air fry for 8-9 minutes, then flip and cook for 5 minutes to get slightly crisp on both sides.
