Air Fryer Honey BBQ Explosion Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken wings or thighs (bone-in or boneless)
– 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon salt
– Cooking spray
– Sesame seeds (for garnishing)
– Green onions, chopped (for garnishing)


Instructions

Creating Air Fryer Honey BBQ Explosion Chicken is straightforward. Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:

1. Prepare Chicken: Start by washing and patting dry the chicken pieces with paper towels. This ensures they get crispy when cooked.
2. Marinate: In a large bowl, mix the honey BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken to the marinade, making sure to coat each piece evenly. Ideally, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat Air Fryer: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Arrange Chicken: Once the air fryer is preheated, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
5. Cook Chicken: Cook the chicken in the air fryer for about 20 minutes. Flip the pieces halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If necessary, cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle extra honey BBQ sauce over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

With these steps, you’ll create delicious Air Fryer Honey BBQ Explosion Chicken that will impress your family and friends.
