Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts 1 per person
  • Spray oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Smoked paprika
  • Garlic salt or garlic powder
  • 80 ml BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Spray your chicken breasts with spray oil.
  • Sprinkle over smoked paprika, garlic salt and season well with salt and pepper too. Alternatively you can mix it all together beforehand and sprinkle on.
  • Turn over and repeat this step again.
  • Lay the chicken in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 180C (360F approx) for 10 minutes.
  • Turn over the chicken breast.
  • Air fry at 180C (360F approx) for another 8 minutes.
  • Pour over the barbecue sauce; I like to use a silicone pastry brush to ensure even coverage, but you can just use a spoon or whatever you have to hand.
  • Air fry at 180C (360F approx) for another 2 minutes.
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken breast (in the thickest part) is a minimum of 74C (165F) and then remove.
  • You can rest for 5 minutes before you slice and serve. Or just serve up as a whole chicken breast alongside the rest of your dinner.
