Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ⅓ cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- To a bowl, add the chicken thighs, oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well.
- Add the chicken thighs to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overlapping them. A tiny bit is ok, but you’ll have to shift them halfway through, as the chicken thighs will shrink a tiny bit as they cook.
- Air fry the chicken at 400F for 7 minutes.
- Brush the bbq sauce onto the chicken thighs, flip them over, and brush the other side with bbq sauce as well.
- Air fry for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Repeat when any extra chicken thighs you have left over. When done, let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
