Ingredients
- 1 ½ - 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts thin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup BBQ sauce plus more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer to 370°F.
- For best results, use thin chicken breasts. If needed, slice the chicken breasts in half to create thinner pieces or place the breasts between parchment paper, plastic wrap, or in a zip-top bag and pound them thin.
- Combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small dish.
- Coat each chicken breast with the oil and seasoning mix.
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, cook the chicken in batches.
- Cook for 9 minutes, flip the chicken breasts, and cook for 8 more minutes.
- Brush each chicken breast with BBQ sauce.
- Cook for another 2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Slice and serve with additional BBQ sauce.
Notes
- Storage: Store BBQ chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Be sure to use a preheated Air Fryer.
- Use similar sized chicken breasts so they cook evenly.
- If you want to give the chicken a smokier taste, switch the paprika out for smoked paprika.
