Ingredients
 

  • 4 Chicken Thighs
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce

Spice Rub

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix spice rub together first
  • Dry chicken thighs with paper towel then coat chicken in spice rub
  • Preheat air fryer or oven to 375°F

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Place chicken thighs in preheated air fryer skin side down then cook for 12 minutes. Flip to skin side up and cook remaining 12-14 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
  • After chicken is finished toss chicken in sauce or simply drizzle sauce as I did in video and photos

Baking Instructions

  • When baking, place the chicken skin side up the entire time. Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked all the way through. If you flip the chicken skin side down the skin will not get crispy.
