Sugar Daddy Thighs (Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Thighs)

sugar daddy chicken thighs

These sweet, spicy, barbecue-glazed chicken thighs are made in the air fryer using T-Pain x Spicewalla’s Sugar Daddy Seasoning. An easy, flavor-packed main dish for busy weeknights or summer cookouts!

Ingredients

For the Chicken Thighs:

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp Sugar Daddy Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

For the Honey BBQ Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite!)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Sugar Daddy Seasoning

Instructions

1. Marinate the Thighs
In a large zip-top bag, combine chicken thighs, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and Sugar Daddy Seasoning. Massage everything together so the chicken gets fully coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

2. Preheat & Air Fry
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. (I let my air fryer run for 3 minutes to preheat) Add thighs to the air fryer basket in a single layer.

3. Air Fry Chicken
Air fry at 400˚ for 12 minutes, then flip each thigh over, air frying for an additional 5 minutes.

4. Make the Glaze
While the chicken cooks, stir together barbecue sauce, honey, and a little more Sugar Daddy seasoning in a small bowl.

5. Brush & Finish
After air frying for 17 minutes, brush with the honey barbecue sauce and air fry for 5 minutes on one side, flip, and do it again.

You can also give it another brush right before serving for that sticky-saucy finish. And serve some extra sauce on the side, for those who like the sauce!

5. Serve Hot!
These are unreal.
