Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • Toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Whisk soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl.
  2. Pat chicken dry, place in a bowl, and toss with half the sauce. Reserve the rest for glazing.
  3. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 5 to 7 minutes until 165°F.
  4. Brush reserved sauce over chicken and air fry 1 more minute until glossy and bubbling.
  5. Rest chicken 2 minutes, slice against the grain, and serve over rice with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. The chicken can marinate in the sauce for up to 2 hours, but the no-marination version still delivers plenty of flavor.
