Air Fryer BBQ Chicken

This air fryer bbq chicken is perfectly juicy and tender and is so much faster than firing up the grill. It needs a handful of ingredients and cooks in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 180C/350F. Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  2. Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel. Rub the spices all over the chicken.
  3. Air fry the chicken for 8 minutes, flip, and cook for another 8 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken from the air fryer basket and cover generously in the barbecue sauce.
  5. Return the covered chicken to the air fryer basket and cook for another 2 minutes.

Notes

TO STORE: Allow the chicken to cool down completely. Then, refrigerate it in an air-tight container for 3-4 days.

TO FREEZE: Toss the leftover BBQ chicken in a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 months.

TO REHEAT: If using frozen BBQ chicken, let it thaw in the fridge and warm it in the air fryer until ready.
