Air fryer bbq chicken thighs are sweet, juicy, delicious, and easy to make. A perfect weeknight chicken dinner your family would love. The skin is crispy and coated with sweet and sticky bbq sauce. You will love it.
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!
