In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and brown sugar until combined.
Sprinkle it evenly on both sides of the breasts.
Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees for 4 minutes.
Place the chicken breasts into the air fryer basket and fry for 10-12 minutes.
Brush the bbq sauce over the breasts and fry an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenders can also be used, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
