Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5-2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, trimmed, cut into bite size pieces
- 3/4 c homemade teriyaki sauce, or use bottled
- 1/4 onion, diced, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- Trim the boneless chicken thighs and cut into equal-sized bite-sized pieces. Add into a bowl with teriyaki sauce (and onion if desired) and stir to coat all pieces well. Let them marinate for at least 5 minutes, or up to an hour for extra flavor.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the air fryer basket, spreading them out in a single layer with minimal overlapping.
- Close the air fryer and cook for a total of 8 minutes, shaking the basket after 4 minutes.
- Check that the chicken is fully cooked by removing the largest piece and cutting it in half. It should be no longer pink inside; if necessary, add 1 minute of cooking time until fully cooked.
- Serve the cooked chicken over a bed of white rice.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate chicken in teriyaki sauce for an hour if possible.
Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli during cooking for a complete meal.
