Air Fryer Sesame Chicken Thighs Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 2 pounds chicken thighs
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and rice vinegar. Stir well to mix the ingredients.

Step 2: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated.

Step 3: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the marinating chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 400F (200C) for 5 minutes.

Step 5: Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the bowl, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Arrange the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket with the skin-side up.

Step 6: Cook the chicken for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches a golden, crispy texture and is cooked through.

Step 7: Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8: Garnish the chicken with chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds for a fresh, flavorful finish.
