Equipment: BBQ Chicken in Air Fryer

• Air Fryer

Ingredients:

• ▢4-6 pieces chicken, drumsticks
• ▢2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ▢1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢1 tablespoon olive oil, or non-stick spray
• ▢1/2 cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions 

• To prepare the basket or air fryer trays, brush about 1/2 tablespoon olive oil or spray with cooking spray. 
• Place the chicken, in a single layer,  in the air fryer basket. Avoid stacking or overlapping any pieces of chicken.
• To prepare the chicken dry rub, use a small bowl and blend together the brown sugar and teaspoon garlic powder. Sprinkle the spice mix over each piece of chicken on both sides. Pat it down until the chicken is well covered.
• Air fry the chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes cooking time. Flip the chicken over halfway through cooking. Use a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature of 165 degrees F. 
• Once done cooking, remove chicken pieces from air fryer basket or air fryer trays, and then brush chicken with barbecue sauce on both sides of each piece. Serve immediately.

Notes

I use a Cosori air fryer to make this recipe and wattages can vary. The first time you make it, keep an eye on the chicken and check doneness with a meat thermometer.
