Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add chicken thighs, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Marinate for 10 mins up to overnight.
  • Preheat air fryer to 425F for a few mins. Add chicken thighs and air fry for 11-14 mins until browned and cooked through.
  • While the chicken is cooking, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, water, and cornstarch in a cup or bowl. In a medium pan on medium heat, melt the butter then add the sauce and cook until thickened.
  • Once chicken is done, pour the sauce over the chicken and coat evenly. Serve with fluffy white rice, veggies, and other sides.

Notes

If you don't have an air fryer, you can pan-fry the chicken on each side for 4-6 mins or bake in the oven at 400F for 20-25 mins. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165F.
