Ingredients
Scale
- 8 bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to ensure crispy skin.
- Season the chicken thighs with avocado oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Air fry the chicken skin side down for 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce.
- Baste the chicken with the sticky glaze a few times while cooking, for beautiful caramelization.
- Add an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For an extra crispy finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For maximum flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Monitor the internal temperature to ensure juiciness.
