Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix olive oil, BBQ sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add chicken thighs and coat well with marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally a few hours.
  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Fold the chicken thighs in half over themselves and place in the basket in a single layer, without overlapping.
  • Cook for 18 to 22 minutes, without flipping. Brush with fresh BBQ sauce at mid-cooking and continue cooking until chicken is well browned and a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from basket, brush with one last coat of fresh BBQ sauce and let rest 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
