Prepare 4 chicken thighs by trimming excess fat and leaving the skin on.

Season both sides of the chicken thighs generously with Crawford's seasoning.

Tuck the skin under the chicken thighs for even cooking and moisture retention.

Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the middle shelf of the air fryer.

Cook the chicken thighs in the air fryer at 400°F for about 15 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs with an instant-read thermometer; they should reach 165°F.

If not done, return the chicken thighs to the air fryer and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, checking periodically.

Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and brush with Phil's gourmet traditional barbecue sauce.

Return the sauced chicken thighs to the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes to set the sauce.

Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
