Preheat air fryer to 400ºF. In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Trim excess fat and skin from chicken thighs using kitchen shears. If desired, skin can be removed completely.
Rub oil on both sides of chicken. Sprinkle on seasoning and rub it into the chicken.
Place chicken on rack in air fryer in a single layer. It's okay if the pieces are touching or even overlapping a bit. They shrink as they cook. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
Cook for 10 minutes, turn thighs over, and cook for another 10 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
