Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with this mixture.
- Cooking in the Air Fryer:
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between them for proper air circulation.
- Cook the chicken at 360°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, flip the chicken breasts and brush them generously with BBQ sauce.
- Continue cooking for another 5-8 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is nicely browned and caramelized on the outside.
- Serve: Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, coleslaw, or cornbread.
