Crispy Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Thighs:
   • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.
2. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce:
   • In a bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in cornstarch as well.
3. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the remaining sauce for basting.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
5. Air Fry the Chicken Thighs:
   • Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin-side down.
   • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes.
   • Flip the chicken thighs, brush them with the reserved teriyaki sauce, and continue air frying for another 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
6. Finish and Serve:
   • Once the chicken thighs are cooked through, brush them with more teriyaki sauce.
   • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the crispy air fryer teriyaki chicken thighs hot, paired with rice, steamed vegetables, or a salad.
