Aromatic and coated with sweet and smoky BBQ sauce, these air fryer chicken thighs are a delicious meal that will bring the whole family to the table. This recipe proves that an air fryer can produce results just as impressive as grilling, without the need to cook outdoors.
First, the chicken thighs are marinated in a mixture of olive oil and spices, including garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper. This allows the meat to absorb plenty of flavor before cooking. After marinating for at least 30 minutes, the chicken thighs are placed in the air fryer basket and cooked until juicy and tender.
During the final stages of cooking, the chicken is coated with BBQ sauce several times. This creates a deliciously sticky, sweet and smoky coating while keeping the chicken flavorful and juicy.
These air fryer chicken thighs are perfect for a quick and easy family dinner. Serve them with a fresh salad or your favorite side dish for a satisfying meal.
