Instructions
- Debone the chicken thighs by carefully making small slits around the bone with a sharp knife, until it can be easily removed. If you're using boneless chicken thighs, skip this step.
- Transfer chicken thighs into a large bowl. Add marinade ingredients into the bowl and massage into chicken until coated. Marinate for 15 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil or cooking spray or line the base of the basket with air fryer parchment paper.
- Place chicken thighs in the basket in a flat single layer and skin side up. You will need to air fry in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the chicken for 8-9 minutes at 375 degrees F or until an internal temperature is 165 F with a digital instant read thermometer and skin is browned. No need to flip halfway. Note: the cooking time will range per air fryer so monitor the cooking process.
- Remove the cooked chicken and slice it into pieces. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes
- To bake the marinated chicken thighs, place thighs skin side up in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan.
- Bake at 425 F for 20-25 minutes and then broil them at 500 F for 4-5 minutes until the skin is slightly charred on the edges but monitor this process. The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F with a digital instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part or until juices run clear.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Place the chicken thighs in a single layer without over lap, skin side down. You may need to cook the chicken in small batches.
- Fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes, flip over and fry on the other side for another 4-6 minutes on the other side until you reach an internal temperature of 165 F with a digital instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part or until juices run clear.
