Preheat your air fryer to 360℉ and spray your basket with cooking spray
In a small bowl, mix all of your dry spices together and set aside
Pat the chicken with a paper-towel to dry then lightly spray with cooking spray.
Sprinkle ½ tsp of the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts, massaging gently to make sure the spices adhere to the chicken
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes
Flip after and cook another 10 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165℉ (check after about 8 minutes)
Increase temperature of the air fryer to 450℉
Spread the top of each chicken breast generously with BBQ sauce and return to the air fryer for about 2 minutes or until bubbly and nicely glazed
Let chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting or serving
Notes
If you like your BBQ a little spicy, add a little cayenne to the spice mix. I wouldn’t do more than ⅛ tsp. A healthy pinch should do it.I start with the top side of the chicken facing down in the fry basket, that way when you flip it the “pretty side” will be up - it makes for a nicer presentation.The BBQ sauce is really a personal preference. I find sauces with brown sugar in them caramelize a little better and give you that nice sticky glaze you want. If you like a mustard base sauce, try adding ⅛ to ¼ tsp dry mustard to your spice mix.
