Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 370°F.
  2. 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.
  3. Combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small dish.
  4. Coat each chicken breast with the oil and seasoning mix.
  5. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, cook the chicken in batches.
  6. Cook for 9 minutes, flip the chicken breasts, and cook for 8 more minutes.
  7. Brush each chicken breast with BBQ sauce.
  8. 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.
