These Air Fryer Asian-Glazed Boneless Chicken Thighs come out so juicy and delicious, I’m simply obsessed with this recipe!
Air Fryer Asian Boneless Chicken Thighs
When you think of air fryers you typically think of air fryer french fries or air fryer chicken nuggets and recipes with breading. This boneless, skinless chicken thigh recipe has no breading at all. The air fryer cooks these chicken thighs so fast, and they come out so juicy! They are perfect over brown rice with steamed veggies like bok choy or snap peas. More air fryer recipes made with chicken you must try are my air fryer chicken breasts, these crispy air fryer chicken thighs, these Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs marinated with yogurt and this whole chicken in the air fryer.
Because a lot of you bought my latest cookbook, Skinnytaste Air Fryer Cookbook (thank you!) I promised I would share more air fryer recipes each week. If you don’t have an air fryer, cook this in the oven or on the grill, adjusting the cook time to make sure they are cooked through in the center.
Chicken Thigh Marinade Ingredients
- soy sauce, for savory unami
- balsamic vinegar, for sweetness and acidity
- honey, for sweetness
- garlic, for flavor
- Sriracha, for heat
- ginger, for spiciness and warmth
Reasons I love air frying:
- Food comes out so much crispier than it does in my oven.
- It takes only three minutes to preheat, it doesn’t heat up the kitchen.
- It’s safer and healthier than deep frying and it doesn’t smoke up the whole house.
- The air fryer has now replaced my oven on most weekdays and nights, whether making hard boiled eggs, whipping up a side dish, heating up leftovers, or making dinner.
