Juicy, flavorful, and ready in 25 minutes, this Air Fryer BBQ Chicken is a weeknight game changer. Made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are coated in a sweet and smoky BBQ sauce, this recipe delivers all the classic BBQ flavors without firing up the grill. It’s perfect for busy families or anyone craving quick and easy comfort food!
If you’ve ever craved that rich and smoky bbq flavor but didn’t have the time (or the weather) to fire up the grill, this air fryer bbq chicken breast was made for you.
It gives you all of the sweet and tangy flavors of classic barbecue, but in a fraction of the time.
The homemade BBQ sauce is made from ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and spices and caramelizes beautifully in the air fryer. The sauce creates a glossy coating that seals in the juices from the chicken.
And because I love chicken with flavor, I tested this recipe in my air fryer 5 different times, with different sauces, to make sure it yielded tender and jucy chicken every single time.
