Creating Irresistible Air Fryer Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Prepare the Flour Mixture: In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the baking powder.
3. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated, shaking off any excess flour.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange the Chicken: Place the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring that they are not overcrowded.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or olive oil to help achieve a golden-brown color.
7. Cook: Air fry the chicken for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
