Prep: 15 minutesÂ
Cook: 15 minutesÂ
Marinating; 2 hoursÂ
Ingredients:
- one-third cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup soy sauce with low sodium
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar,
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon optional Sriracha
- One tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil, or additional to preference
- 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly peeled and chopped ginger
- Three pounds of skinless, boneless chicken thighs, about nine pieces, with visible fat removed.
- Olive oil or vegetable oil to coat grill grates
Directions:
- Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, Worcestershire, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a medium-sized mixing bowl. If desired, add a little salt and pepper for seasoning. Take out 1/4 cup of the marinade and store it in a basin.
- Put the chicken into a gallon-sized resealable bag or a medium-sized bowl. Over the chicken, pour the remaining marinade, toss to coat, and press the chicken down into the marinade. If using a bag, push out extra air and seal the bag.
- Place in the fridge and marinate for a minimum of two and a maximum of eight hours.
- Heat up Air Fryer to a medium temperature. Grates should be cleaned and brushed with vegetable oil.
- Bake the chicken thighs for 18 minutes at 380°F, turning them over after 9 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature of your chicken reaches 165°F by using an instant-read thermometer. Adapt the cooking time as necessary.
- If preferred, top warm servings with green onion garnishes. Serve with grilled tiny peppers, fresh pineapple, and coconut rice, if desired.(Glass baking dishes)
Notes;
- If preferred, use 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 1/2 tablespoons honey.
- If you only need 6 servings, this recipe works well for 2 pounds of chicken thighs (6 thighs).
- Instead of using chicken thighs, use chicken breasts. Use smaller ones, around 6 ounces, and pound until the texture is uniform. For doneness, check the center’s temperature at 165.
