Ingredients

  • 6 - Boneless (Skinless Chicken Thighs)
  • Cornstarch or Potato Starch
  • ½ Cups - Honey
  • ½ Cups - Soy Sauce or Gluten Free Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsps - Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsps - Ketchup
  • 1 Clove - Garlic
  • ½ tsp - ground ginger
  • 1 Tbsp - Cornstarch
  • cooked rice
  • Green Beans
  • Green Onions

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into cubed chunks, then toss in a bowl with Cornstarch or Potato Starch.  Use enough to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Place in the Air Fryer and cook according to your Air Fryer Manual for chicken. (Note - I cooked ours on 390°F for 24 Minutes, 12 minutes on each side. Chicken will be done anywhere from 15-25 minutes, when it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.)
  3. While the chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic, and ginger.
  4. Bring this to a low boil, then whisk in the cornstarch until the sauce is thickened.  (Note, if it's not thick enough, add in additional cornstarch until nicely thickened.)
  5. Set aside.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, mix it into the sauce and warm up.  This can be done in a small skillet or the saucepan, simply coat the chicken with the sauce.  It will be a sticky texture sauce.
  7. Serve the chicken over the cooked rice with green beans.
  8. Garnish with green onion.
