Crispy Garlic Soy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
Boneless chicken thighs get a salty-savory glaze in the air fryer—skin crisps up in 15 minutes, and the garlic-soy coating locks in moisture. One-vessel dinner that tastes restaurant-quality but tastes like home.

Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Step 3
Toss chicken thighs with the soy glaze until fully coated. Arrange skin-side up in the air fryer basket.
Step 4
Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes. Chicken is done when skin is deep golden brown and juices run clear.
Step 5
Let rest 2 minutes, then serve immediately with any pan drippings spooned on top.
