Air Fryer Korean Chicken Thighs
Description
The recipe starts by combining soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create a marinade that coats chicken thighs evenly. The thighs should be marinated for a minimum of 2 hours to absorb the flavors, with the option to marinate up to 24 hours for a deeper taste.
After marinating, chicken thighs are placed in a single layer in the air fryer to allow even cooking and browning. Cooking times from 20 to 30 minutes are recommended, with an internal temperature of 165°F confirming doneness. This method produces a pleasant combination of tender and juicy meat with caramelized edges.
This dish works well served on its own or alongside rice and vegetables for a meal featuring Korean-inspired flavors delivered with a convenient cooking technique.
