Main Ingredients- 2 Chicken thighs (boneless, skin-on recommended for crispiness)
- 1 bowl Warm cooked rice
- 4 Tbsp Store-bought Teriyaki sauce
Chicken Marinade Ingredients- 2 Tbsp Sake or Mirin (cooking wine)
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- Pinch of Salt (to taste)
- Pinch of Black pepper (to taste)
- 2 Tbsp Sake or Mirin (cooking wine)
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- Pinch of Salt (to taste)
- Pinch of Black pepper (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the marinade ingredients: sake/mirin (2 Tbsp), minced garlic (1 Tbsp), salt (a pinch), and black pepper (a pinch). Gently mix everything together and let it marinate for 10 minutes. This step helps tenderize the chicken and remove any unwanted odors.
Step 2
Line your air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the liner, ensuring the skin side is facing up. Avoid overcrowding the basket for even cooking and crispiness.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the chicken in the preheated air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. The chicken should start to turn golden brown.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer. Brush both sides generously with the teriyaki sauce. Return the sauced chicken to the air fryer and cook for another 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F). This final cooking stage allows the teriyaki sauce to caramelize and coat the chicken beautifully.
Step 5
Serve the delicious teriyaki chicken over a bowl of warm cooked rice. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces before topping the rice for easier eating. For an extra touch, you can add a side of fresh salad greens or a fried egg!
