Air fryer BBQ Chicken
Description
Smoky, sticky, slightly sweet air fryer BBQ chicken is my favorite. Such delicious flavors that liven up the chicken. It is also healthy when done in air fryer. Perfect and quick main.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. chicken breast fillets or 450 gm.
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ¾ tsp. chilli powder
- ½ tsp. paprika
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ½ cup bbq sauce
Directions
- Take about 1 lb. or around 450 gm. Chicken breast. Slice them into thin fillets of equal thickness.
- Dry them.
- Assemble the spices that you will use in a bowl. I assembled olive oil, chilli powder, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix them well.
- Apply olive oil all over the chicken both front and back. Then take the spice rub and apply it generously over chicken breast.
- Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 5 minutes. I used a parchment paper with holes for easy cleanup but you can directly place chicken breast on air fryer basket.
- Lay seasoned breast in one layer. You will need to do two batches in all.
- Air fry at 360F or 180C for 6-8 minutes. Open the air fryer and flip each chicken breast.
- Air fry again at 6-7 minutes till chicken is cooked. Don’t overcook or the chicken gets dry.
- To check if the chicken is cooked, insert a meat thermometer in the fleshiest part of the chicken. It must reach a temp of 165F or above for chicken to be cooked through.
- Now apply BBQ sauce on both sides of chicken breast. Air fry for 2 more minutes at 180C 0
- Or 360F. Serve hot.
- Your BBQ chicken is done.
