- Brush the skin of the turkey thighs with olive oil or melted butter to help get a beautiful golden brown finish.
- Sprinkle the dried thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder over each side of the turkey thighs.
- Place the turkey thighs in the air fryer basket skin side up and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. For extra crispy chicken thighs, flip again and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
