Instrucțiuni

You can also prepare teriyaki sauce by combining together soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic and pepper. Check the recipe in the notes.Or you may use storebought Teriyaki sauce. I have used both on different occasions and the results are good for each.Keep half the sauce aside and marinate boneless skinless chicken cubes for 30 minutes in the remaining half marinade (about 2 tbsp.)

The remaining marinade is for a thick sauce or for basting during air frying. After 30 minutes, add 2 tbsp. cornstarch to the chicken thighs and mix well. This will give the chicken a lovely coating.

Preheat air fryer at 390 F or 200 C for 5 minutes. Lay the marinated chicken cubes in one layer on the air fryer basket after brushing the basket with oil.

Air fry at 390 F or 200C for 7 minutes till one side is slightly browned. Take the reserve teriyaki sauce and brush it all over the chicken cubes. Now flip the cubes and brush sauce on this side as well.

Close the air fryer basket and air fry at 390F or 200C for another 7 minutes till the chicken is well cooked. It will look glossy from the teriyaki glaze on top as well as have a nice coating. Check for doneness of chicken by using a meat thermometer. The temperature should be above 165F for the chicken to be cooked through.

I did not need to but you can brush with some more teriyaki sauce if you so desire or serve some on the side as a dip.

Your delicious air fryer teriyaki chicken is done. Take it out and serve after garnishing with toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy.
