Honey garlic chicken thighs (air fryer)
Sticky, juicy honey garlic chicken thighs cooked in the air fryer. A simple marinade of soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce and garlic - ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 kg skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce optional
- sesame seeds for garnish
- 1 chopped spring onion /green onion for garnish
Instructions
- Get a bowl and add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder, honey and sriracha (if using).
- Combine well. Add the marinade to the chicken thighs and make sure they're all coated well in the sauce.
- You can air fry the chicken thighs straight away, but preferably leave the chicken to marinate for a few hours to let the flavours develop.
- When you're ready to air fry the chicken thighs, preheat your air fryer according to your air fryer settings for 5 minutes.
- Shake off any excess marinade and place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket. Keep them in a single layer so the chicken will cook evenly.
- Air fry at 180°c (356F) for 15 minutes. Brush over the excess marinade. Then using tongs, turn the chicken over and brush the other side. Continue to air fry for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked.*
- Sprinkle over sesame seeds and chopped spring onions before serving.
Notes
* If you're not sure if the chicken is cooked, check with a meat thermometer that it has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). You may need to be careful that the skin doesn't burn, so lower the temperature or cover the chicken with foil, if you need to continue to cook a few minutes more.
