Ingredients
- 16 ounces chicken breast
- 1-2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1/2 Tbsp spanish style paprika, smoked also works
- 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 4-5 pinches coarse sea salt , 1/4-1/2 tsp fine salt works too
- 10 turns fresh cracked pepper, 1/8-1/4 tsp ground pepper works too
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce*, I like stubbs but any works!
Method
- Preheat air fryer, toaster oven or oven to 400F (204C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Slice the chicken breasts into even strips (about the size of chicken tenders) and remove any chunks of fat/tendons, etc.16 ounces chicken breast
- Toss into a bowl with the oil and all the seasoning until the chicken is evenly coated (if making on the stove, don’t toss with the oil, just use the oil on the pan)1-2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil, 1/2 Tbsp spanish style paprika smoked also works, 1/2 Tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp oregano, 4-5 pinches coarse sea salt 1/4-1/2 tsp fine salt works too, 10 turns fresh cracked pepper 1/8-1/4 tsp ground pepper works too
- Bake until the chicken is 165F (74C) or nice and brown on the inside and no longer pink inside, this should take 8-12 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into small chunks. If you're ready to serve, toss the chicken into a pan (I like cast irons) with BBQ sauce and heat together. If meal prepping, toss chicken into a bowl with bbq and just heat together before serving.1/2 cup BBQ sauce* I like stubbs but any works!
Notes
*Feel free to use as much or as little bbq as you want and use whatever brand of bbq you like. I just add enough bbq to make the chicken moist, tender and flavorful but it's not overly saucy and full of sugar.
