Method
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with kitchen paper.
Mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chipotle paste.
Coat the chicken thoroughly, making sure every thigh is fully covered.
Place skin-side up into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 22–25 minutes, turning once halfway through.
While the chicken cooks, combine the honey, BBQ sauce, chipotle paste, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
During the final 5 minutes of cooking, brush the thighs generously with the glaze.
Return to the fryer and allow the glaze to become sticky, dark, and caramelised.
Remove carefully and allow to rest for 2 minutes.
Serve immediately while still sizzling hot.
