Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or wings
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (optional, for color)
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for coating)
  • Cooking spray or light oil
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk soy sauces, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and vinegar to make marinade.
  2. Marinate chicken for 15–30 minutes.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry and toss lightly with cornstarch.
  4. Place chicken in air fryer basket in a single layer. Air-fry for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, simmer remaining marinade in a saucepan until slightly thickened to make glaze.
  6. Brush cooked chicken with glaze and air-fry an additional 2–3 minutes to caramelize.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately with rice or vegetables.

Notes

  • Use skin-on chicken for more crispy texture.
  • Adjust sweetness or spice by adding more honey or a dash of gochujang.
  • Air-fried chicken is best served immediately but can be reheated in air fryer at 375°F for 5–6 minutes.
  • Great with steamed rice, pickled radish, or stir-fried vegetables.
