Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast – cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce – for delicious coating
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil – adds moisture
  • Garlic powder, to taste – for extra flavor
  • Onion powder, to taste – for added depth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. After the time is up, brush BBQ sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is heated through and slightly caramelized.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce for a few hours or overnight for more flavor. Ensure to space chicken pieces in the air fryer for even cooking and crispiness. Experiment with different sauces for varied tastes.
