Craving BBQ chicken but don't want to fire up the grill? These Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Thighs are your answer! This recipe delivers unbelievably juicy and crispy chicken in under 30 minutes. Forget dry, flavorless chicken – the air fryer locks in moisture while creating a beautifully caramelized BBQ crust.
Why chicken thighs? They're naturally more flavorful and forgiving than chicken breasts, making them ideal for air frying. Plus, they stay incredibly tender.
Simply toss your chicken thighs in your favorite BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade!), pop them in the air fryer, and let the magic happen. We recommend checking for doneness using a meat thermometer – you're aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Serve with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
