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.
