Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken

Chicken

• 1 lb skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
• 1/4 tsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp green onions, finely chopped

Marinade

• 1 tbsp regular (or light) soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp Shaoxing cooking wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 tsp ginger, finely grated
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp white pepper (or black pepper)

Directions

• Debone: position the thigh bone-side up and make shallow cuts around the bone until it lifts out, without piercing the skin. Pat dry.
• Marinate: place the thighs in a bowl with all the marinade ingredients and massage until evenly coated. Let sit 15 minutes.
• Prepare the air fryer: lightly spray the basket with neutral oil or line with parchment. Let excess marinade drip off, then arrange the chicken skin-side up in a single layer with spacing.
• Cook: air fry at 375F for 8-10 minutes without flipping, until the skin is caramelized and the thickest part reaches 165F.
• Rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over rice.
