Air Fryer Teriyaki Honey Glaze Chicken

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the chicken

1. In a bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and oil.
2. Add chicken thighs, coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Air fry the chicken

1. Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
2. Place chicken thighs in the basket, skin side up, in a single layer.
3. Cook for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temp of 74°C (165°F).

Step 3: Make the honey glaze

1. In a small saucepan, heat 2 tbsp honey with 2 tbsp of the leftover marinade.
2. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Glaze and serve

1. Brush honey glaze over cooked chicken thighs.
2. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
3. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.

Tips & Tricks

• For crispier skin, pat chicken dry before marinating.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
• Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy version.
• Save extra glaze for drizzling over rice.

Notes

• Bone-in chicken thighs may take 2–3 minutes longer than boneless.
• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer.
