Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken
by: claire cary
This gluten free air fryer teriyaki chicken is my go to recipe when I want something flavorful, high protein and easy to make. The homemade teriyaki sauce is perfectly sweet, sticky, salty and made with pantry staple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pound boneless skinless chicken thighs about 5 thighs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 batch gluten free teriyaki sauce click for recipe
- 2-3 tablespoons plain gluten free breadcrumbs
For serving
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- ½ cup diced green onion
Instructions
- First, prep the teriyaki sauce and set aside to cool for a bit.
- Cut the chicken into roughly 1 inch chunks and add to a mixing bowl. Toss with the cornstarch until well coated.
- Measure out 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce and add to the chicken. Toss well to combine. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380 and pray lightly with oil.
- Once marinated, toss with the breadcrumbs. I usually use 3 tablespoons, but totally up to you!
- Add the chicken to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 14 minutes, tossing halfway to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a bowl and toss with the rest of the sauce (or reserve some on the side for drizzling on the bowls or veggies etc.)
- Serve with the rice, green onion, sesame seeds if desired and enjoy!
Notes
You can use chicken breasts if you prefer, I just prefer thighs.
