These were so easy to make!

I love to cook but honestly, when I've worked all day, I'm pretty tired by the time I get home and appreciate meals that taste good but don't require a lot of time and effort.

Ingredients:

1 pound raw boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4–1/3 cup your favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions:

Trim off any large pieces of fat. Place chicken thighs in a medium mixing bowl. Use a couple of paper towels to pat the chicken dry as much as possible.

Add seasoning: Add the avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the chicken. Use tongs or a spoon to mix until the chicken is completely coated. 

Place the chicken thighs into the air fryer basket in a single layer with no overlap. Set the temperature to 390F and air fry for 4-6  minutes. Then open the air fryer and use a spoon or pastry brush to spread a small amount of BBQ sauce on the chicken. Using tongs, flip the thighs over and again cover with remaining BBQ sauce, this time generously smothering the chicken with BBQ sauce. Air fry again at 380F, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Time will depend on how large your chicken pieces are. The chicken thighs are done when the internal temperature reaches 165F when measured with a meat thermometer, the edges are charring and the sauce looks sticky.

Veggie on the Side 🥦

Before I started, I popped a sweet potato in the microwave for about 7 minutes.  When it was done I wrapped it in tinfoil to keep it warm.  Then while the chicken was cooking I steamed some frozen veggies in the microwave for 6 minutes.

Dinner was done in 15 minutes ⏱ with little cleanup! Let me know if you try it!
