Ingredients
  

For the marinade
  • 2 tbsp honey Transforms the chicken with a golden glaze and natural sweetness.
  • 1.5 tsp garlic powder Enhances the overall taste without overpowering.
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce Balances the sweetness of honey.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the chicken moist.
For the chicken
  • 600 g chicken thigh fillets (boneless & skinless) Tender and juicy providing rich flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, garlic powder, soy sauce, and olive oil. Stir until well combined.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
Cooking
  1. If needed, preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 13-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and brush with any juices collected in the basket. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate overnight. Use fresh minced garlic for a stronger flavor. Pat chicken thighs dry before marinating for extra crunch.
