Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken thighs
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic granules
  • ½ teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • Salt and black pepper about ¼ teaspoon of each
  • ½ cup BBQ
  • 1 Tablespoon Jalapeno hot sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil

Instructions
 

  • Prep the chicken by removing any unwanted fat and trimming off any excess hanging skin. Transfer the chicken into a large Ziploc bag, and add smoked paprika, onion granules, garlic granules, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Close the Ziploc bag and give the chicken a good massage so that the spice rub evenly coats the chicken.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 200C/400F for 2 minutes. Place it in the air fryer and bake the chicken for about 10 – 15 minutes. Mix the bbq sauce and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl until combined.
  • Carefully brush the bbq sauce on both sides of the chicken. Cook for 10 -15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should read 165F/74C. Flip the chicken halfway through this cooking time.
  • Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
