Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Thighs Bone-in and skin-on
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 3 Garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Ginger ground
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the ChickenWhisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pop the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight if you’re planning ahead).
- Preheat the Air FryerSet your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the ChickenTake the chicken out of the marinade and place it skin-side up in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. The goal? Crispy skin and an internal temp of 165°F (75°C).
- Brush on the GlazeIn the last 5 minutes, brush some of that leftover marinade onto the chicken. This step makes the glaze extra sticky and delicious.
- Serve and EnjoyLet the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for a little extra flair. Pair it with rice, veggies, or a simple salad, and you’ve got a complete meal.
