- 1½ pounds (680g) frozen chicken thighs 6 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- ⅓ cup (93g) BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
- Add the frozen chicken thighs and cook for about 25 minutes depending on size until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C.
- Brush chicken with BBQ sauce and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Let the chicken rest for several minutes before serving.
Notes
- To ensure that this recipe meets your dietary needs select a diet-friendly BBQ sauce.
- The frozen chicken thighs should be separated. If your chicken thighs are in a clump, run the frozen chicken thighs under cold water just until they separate.
- Cooking times are meant to be a guide. Adjust as needed depending on the size of your frozen chicken thighs. If they are on the larger side, cook them for 30 minutes or more.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil before adding the chicken thighs.
- Leave space between the frozen chicken thighs in the air fryer basket so the hot air can circulate and cook the frozen chicken thighs evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook chicken thighs in batches if necessary.
- Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. When inserted into the thickest part of the chicken, the temperature should be 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C.
- Once the chicken thighs have reached the appropriate temperature, brush them with BBQ sauce and return them to the air fryer basket for a few minutes to set the sauce.
- Boneless chicken thighs will cook faster, so you will need to adjust the time of cooking boneless chicken thighs.
