Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- sesame seeds for garnish, optional
- chopped green onions for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Make the marinade. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ketchup, parsley, and oregano; whisk until completely incorporated. Reserve 1/4-cup of the marinade in a small bowl and set aside for later. Pour the remaining marinade into a large bowl.
- Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken to the marinade; cover and marinate for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Refrigerate the chicken if you are not planning to cook it within 2 hours.
- Prep. Preheat the air fryer to 400˚F.
- Cook. Remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer 4 chicken thighs to the air fryer; you’ll have to cook in batches. Cook for 8 minutes; flip the chicken over and continue to cook for 6 more minutes. Remove and set aside. Continue with the rest of the chicken.
- Thicken the sauce. In the meantime, pour the reserved sauce into a small pan or pot and cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes or until it thickens and is slightly reduced.
- Finish and serve. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and transfer to a plate. Brush the warm glaze over the chicken thighs. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve.

Notes
- Avoid Overcrowding: Give the chicken thighs ample space in the air fryer for even cooking and crispiness.
- Use a Thermometer: Check the chicken doneness with a meat thermometer - chicken is done when its internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Marinate/Season: Maximize flavor by marinating for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat: Start with a preheated air fryer for optimal crispness.
