Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish, optional)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken Thighs:
   • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Make Soy Sauce Marinade:
   • In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
4. Marinate Chicken:
   • Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the soy sauce marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
5. Marinate Time:
   • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or for better flavor, refrigerate and marinate for up to 4 hours.
6. Coat with Olive Oil:
   • Lightly coat the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
7. Air Fry Chicken Thighs:
   • Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
8. Flip and Baste:
   • Flip the chicken thighs, baste with the reserved marinade, and air fry for an additional 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
9. Garnish:
   • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
10. Serve:
    • Serve the Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs hot with your favorite side dishes.
11. Enjoy!
    • Enjoy this flavorful and succulent soy sauce-marinated chicken right from the air fryer.

Note:

• Ensure that the chicken thighs are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
• Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of the chicken thighs and your specific air fryer model.
• Customize the marinade by adding a dash of Sriracha or red pepper flakes for some heat.
