Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Breasts
Make juicy, flavorful air fryer BBQ chicken with a caramelized sauce in minutes! This easy recipe is perfect for a quick, delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 4 medium chicken breasts skinless and boneless
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- olive oil or avocado oil to grease air fryer basket
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Lightly brush oil on the bottom of the air fryer basket.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken pieces with the seasoning blend.
- Place the seasoned chicken into the prepared air fryer basket. Air fry for 10 minutes.
- Flip the chicken pieces and air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
- Brush BBQ sauce on both sides of each chicken piece. Air fry for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part. Remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after air frying to lock in juices and keep it tender. This prevents dryness and ensures every bite is flavorful and juicy!
- For a deeper BBQ taste, brush on an extra layer of sauce after cooking and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This adds even more smoky, caramelized goodness!
- Don't overcrowd the basket. Leave space between chicken pieces for proper air circulation.
