Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Blot the Chicken Thighs dry with a paper towel. Brush olive oil over all surfaces.
  • In a large bowl mix together the Salt, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and baking powder, pepper and salt.
  • Spread the spice rub over the oiled Chicken, top and bottom, and gently rub it in. You can also place the spices and breasts inside a large, sealed bag and shake to coat the Chicken.
  • Generously spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken skin side down in the basket.
  • Close the air fryer and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 8-10 minutes, until they appear golden brown (should reach 185°F internal temperature).
  • Brush the BBQ sauce generously on top of the chicken and bake for another minute or two.
  • Remove from air fryer and allow the chicken to sit for 3 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped Parsley, or your favorite garnish. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
  • Enjoy!
