Pollo a la barbacoa en freidora de aire

Ingredientes

• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast ((2) 8 ounce chicken breasts; see notes for other cuts of chicken)
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or your favorite oil)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (plus more to taste)
• 1/3 cup bbq sauce (use up to 1/2 cup for extra saucy bbq chicken)

Preparación

1. 1

   prep chicken: If the chicken breasts are quite large, place in a zip top bag and pound to uniform thickness, or butterfly the chicken by cutting it in half lengthwise to make 2 pieces. Pat the chicken dry, then brush evenly with the oil.

2. 2

   combine spices: Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the chicken.

3. 3

   air fry chicken: Air fry the chicken breasts at 380 degrees in a single layer for 8 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reaches 160 degrees, around 7-10 minutes more depending on the size and thickness. Brush the chicken with bbq sauce on both sides and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.

4. 4

   rest: Place the chicken on a plate, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
