Air Fryer Crispy Sesame Chicken Thighs
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
Instructions
1
Combine the savory flavors of sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and vinegar in a spacious bowl. Introduce the protein of your choice - chicken - into this mixture, stirring until everything is harmoniously combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Next, preheat your air fryer to a scorching 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Carefully pour off the marinade from the chicken, ensuring it's free from excess sauce.
3
Position the chicken thighs skin-side up in the air fryer basket, ready to be transformed by the heat. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the chicken reaches your desired level of crispiness.

Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Finally, garnish your dish with a sprinkle of green onion and a pinch of sesame seeds to add a pop of color and texture.
