Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) teriyaki sauce store bought or homemade
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds sliced green onions
  • To serve: steamed rice or vegetables

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken in a bowl and coat it evenly with half the sauce. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (approximately 190°C).
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they're not touching or overlapping.
  • Cook the chicken for 4 minutes per side. Then baste the chicken on one side with the remaining teriyaki sauce, cook for 2 minutes, flip and baste the other side and cook for 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.
  • If desired, sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and/or green onions before serving.
  • Serve the teriyaki chicken with steamed rice or vegetables.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
