Creating Air Fryer Salt and Pepper Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
2. Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure each piece is well coated.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Arrange the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
5. Cook the Chicken: Air fry the chicken for 10 minutes. After this, shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
6. Continue Cooking: Air fry for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
