Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Thighs are a great way to get in that addictive buffalo wing flavor, but with chicken thighs instead. These air fryer chicken thighs crisp up perfectly in the air fryer while the inside stays tender and juicy.

Steps:
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Dry the chicken thighs with paper towels, then salt both sides of each of the chicken thighs. Rub the olive oil onto both sides of the chicken thighs.
- After air fryer is preheated, add the chicken thighs, skin side up. Cook in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes (16-18 minutes for smaller thighs). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- Once chicken thighs are cooked, let rest for 5 minutes and cook buffalo sauce.
- Take the pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder and add to a medium skillet over medium heat, cooking until butter is melted, stirring occasionally.
- Once butter is melted, turn heat to low and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce is hot, but not split/broken (where the butter separates from the sauce).
- Dip each chicken thigh in the sauce, coating the top and bottom, and then plate.
- Top as desired and enjoy immediately.
