Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for boneless, skinless chicken thighs that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken thighs: Marinating the chicken thighs in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a good quality air fryer: Not all air fryers are created equal. Choose one that is large enough to fit the chicken thighs in a single layer and has a good air flow system.
  • Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before adding the chicken thighs. This helps to ensure that the chicken thighs cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken thighs in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the air fryer. Cook the chicken thighs in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Flip the chicken thighs halfway through cooking: Flipping the chicken thighs halfway through cooking helps to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Check the chicken thighs for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs. The chicken thighs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Air fryer Asian chicken thighs are a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken thighs are tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and slightly sticky. Serve the chicken thighs with rice or noodles, and enjoy!
