When the weather permits barbecued chicken on the grill is a regular part of my weekly outdoor cooking routine. But for those times when I just can’t get outside to grill this air fryer BBQ chicken recipe is a great indoor replacement. Using the air fryer’s powerful convection fan (because an air fryer as you may know is just a supercharged mini convection oven) we can get juicy lightly charred chicken pieces covered in a sticky sweet and tangy BBQ sauce without the need for a grill. It only takes five minutes to prep and cooks in about 20 minutes so it’s great for busy weeknights. Here are a few tips for cooking perfectly juicy BBQ chicken in your air fryer.
