Start by mixing paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar in a bowl. Add olive oil to the mix to create a paste. Coat the chicken thighs evenly with the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered. Let the chicken marinate for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook the thighs for about 18-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the thighs to ensure even cooking and browning.
The chicken is fall-apart tender when it reaches an internal temperature of 175-185°F and has a nice, crispy exterior. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
