Hoisin Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Description
Hoisin Air Fryer Chicken Thighs are made by mixing hoisin sauce with orange juice, sesame oil, and minced garlic to create a marinade. Chicken thighs are coated thoroughly and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to absorb flavors. Cooking takes place in a preheated air fryer at 400°F for 14 to 16 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The air fryer gives the chicken a browned exterior while retaining juiciness inside.
The hoisin sauce imparts a sweet, savory glaze combining rich, fermented soy flavors with the bright citrus notes from the orange juice and toasted sesame oil aroma. Garlic adds depth and pungency to the sauce. The air frying method achieves a sticky, caramelized coating without deep frying.
This chicken works well served on its own, over rice, or alongside vegetables. Optional garnishes include sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion for additional texture and color.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thigh about 6-8, boneless, skinless
- ⅓ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons orange juice or pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Combine hoisin, orange juice, sesame oil, and garlic in a bowl.
- Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Place chicken in a single layer in the basket and cook 14-16 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F.
Notes
- Air fryer times can vary; start checking your chicken a minute or two early until familiar with your appliance's cooking time.
- Chicken breasts can be used instead of thighs, but increase cooking time accordingly to reach 165°F internal temperature.
- Hoisin sauce is thick and sticky; substituting teriyaki sauce will alter the flavor and the glaze consistency.
