This is a deliberate variant article: same photographic world, different cooking promise. Sticky barbecue chicken thighs with browned edges and no grill required.
The air fryer is good at these repeatable little shifts — a different seasoning, a different sauce, a different finish — because the core technique stays stable while the eating experience changes.
Method

Rest
Rest 3 minutes before serving so the juices settle.
