Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken

Step 1

To a medium bowl add shoyu, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Mix until well combined. Reserve ¼ to ½ cup of the teriyaki sauce in another container.

Step 2

Add the chicken to the teriyaki sauce bowl, cover, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3

Once the chicken has marinated, preheat the air fryer to 380F.

Step 4

While the air fryer is preheating, make the teriyaki glaze. Add the reserved teriyaki sauce to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl and pour the slurry into the pan. Stir until heated through and the sauce thickens up.

Step 5

Once the air fryer has preheated, spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray and place the chicken in the basket in a single layer.

Step 6

Cook the chicken for 6 minutes, flip, and brush the teriyaki glaze over the chicken. Cook for another 5-6 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165F.

Step 7

Allow to cool slightly and ENJOY!
