Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and use a basting brush or your hands to coat it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs.
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap them; cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry at 390°F for 10 minutes.
Flip the chicken and cook for another 8–10 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
