Ingredients

5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 green onion sliced

Instructions

To a large bowl, add the brown sugar, garlic powder, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha sauce. Stir until well blended.
Add the chicken to the marinade and toss until well coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the air fryer is ready, add the chicken in a single layer with the smooth side down. Discard remaining marinade. Cook for 15 minutes until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping the chicken halfway through.
Once done, immediately remove the chicken from the air fryer, let cool, garnish with sliced green onions, then enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Variations And Substitutions:

Bone-in, skin on chicken thighs can be used in this recipe if you prefer. You will need to increase the cook time by 10 or more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit as measured by a food thermometer.

Fresh minced garlic can be used instead of garlic power if you prefer. I use what I have on hand.

Storage And Reheating Instructions:

Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the air fryer at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 to 6 minutes until warmed throughout.

Pro Tips:

The air fryer I used was the Instant Vortex Plus 6 quart. Since all air fryers cook differently, you may need to cook the chicken longer or shorter depending on what air fryer you use.
