Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together honey, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until the marinade is smooth. Add chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate for a few hours for deeper flavor).
2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with cooking spray. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is golden brown and crispy.
