- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for about 5 minutes.

- Mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and cracked pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the chicken and toss until well coated.
- Spritz the air fryer basket with non-stick spray and arrange the chicken in a single layer, ensuring some space between pieces for crispiness. If needed, work in batches.
