Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs Trimmed of fat
  • 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Preparation Steps

  • In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, Sriracha, and grated ginger; mix well.
  • Pour half of the marinade (about 0.25 cup) into a large bowl with the chicken, making sure to cover all the meat. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if needed, air frying for 14 minutes, turning halfway through until cooked through.
  • While the chicken cooks, place the reserved marinade in a small pot and heat over medium-low until it thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Drizzle the thickened sauce over the cooked chicken and garnish with sliced scallions before serving.

Notes

Serve with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal. The marinade can be doubled for extra sauce.
