Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Chicken Legs & Thighs Ideal for air frying, yielding juicy, tender meat.
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil Adds crispiness to the chicken skin.
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Lawry's Seasoning Salt A blend of spices that elevates the chicken's flavor.
  • 1/3 Cup BBQ Sauce Choose your favorite BBQ sauce for best results.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by patting the skin of your chicken dry with a paper towel.
  2. Generously season the chicken all over with Lawry's seasoning salt.
  3. Brush each piece with vegetable oil to enhance the crispy texture.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned chicken in a single layer in your air fryer basket.
  2. Set the temperature to 400°F and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. After 15 minutes, baste each piece of chicken with BBQ sauce, ensuring it's well-coated.
  4. Return the chicken to the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes or until it starts to brown and the sauce caramelizes.
Serving
  1. Remove the BBQ chicken from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

For an extra crispy finish, increase the cooking time by a couple of minutes, but watch closely to prevent overcooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
