Ingredients

1 lb - boneless skinless chicken
1 tbsp - avocado oil
1 tsp - smoked paprika
½ tsp - garlic powder
½ tsp - onion powder
a pinch of salt
½ tsp - black pepper
⅓ cup - bbq sauce use

Instructions

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.
Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the 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.
Place the chicken on a plate, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
