Ingredients
Scale
- 6 chicken thighs bone-in, with skin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder/cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
-
Trim excess fat and pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels. Next, score the chicken thighs on the skin side till the bone. This means putting a few cuts on the chicken flesh so the seasoning can go deeper.
-
In a small bowl, mix the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and red chili powder. In a large bowl, mix the chicken thighs with spices until they are coated all over.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 10 minutes. Brush the chicken with plenty of barbecue sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes.
-
Turn the chicken thighs skin-side up and brush with barbecue sauce. Air fry chicken thighs for another 3 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy and lightly charred. Or until the internal temperature is 170F.
-
Brush with more barbecue sauce if you prefer and serve warm.
