Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp minced green onions (white parts separated for marinade, green parts reserved for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Minced green onions (green parts, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine white miso paste, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and the white parts of the minced green onions. Mix well until the ingredients form a smooth marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Using your hands or a spoon, thoroughly coat the boneless skinless chicken thighs with the prepared marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and line the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  4. Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Pour any leftover marinade over the chicken to enhance the flavor during cooking.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Air fry for about 20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and cooking.
  6. Broil for Crispiness: After cooking, broil the chicken for an additional 2 minutes to develop a crispy, caramelized finish on the exterior.
  7. Check Doneness and Serve: Confirm the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. Garnish with fresh cilantro and the green parts of the minced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the parchment paper is perforated or has holes to allow air circulation in the air fryer basket.
  • Flipping the chicken halfway is crucial for even cooking and browning.
  • Broiling time may vary depending on your air fryer’s broil function; watch closely to avoid burning.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • If you prefer spicier chicken, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
