Air Fryer Honey Chicken Thighs

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
5. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water; stir to form a slurry. Add to the remaining marinade and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until thickened.
6. Brush the thickened sauce over the cooked chicken for a glossy finish. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Chef’s Tips

• For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
• Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer to allow for even cooking.
• For easy cleanup, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
