  1. Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes. Pat thighs dry; unfold and trim loose fat.

  3. Lightly brush basket with 1 teaspoon oil. Arrange 2 thighs in one layer; dab coating with about half remaining oil to cover dry crumbs.
  4. Air fry 8 minutes; carefully turn and cook 7 to 9 minutes more until golden and thickest part at least 165°F. Transfer uncovered to rack.
