Ingredients

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (trimmed, 32 oz total)
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 ½ tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
• 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 1 scallion (green part only, sliced for garnish)

Instructions

• Prepare the Marinade:

  In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, Sriracha, and ginger until well combined.
• Marinate the Chicken:

  Pour half of the marinade (¼ cup) over the chicken in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.

  Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.

  Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
• Cook in the Air Fryer:

  Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  Remove chicken from the marinade and place in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  Cook in batches if needed, for 14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked.
• Prepare the Glaze:

  While the chicken cooks, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

  Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
• Serve & Garnish:

  Drizzle the warm glaze over the cooked chicken.

  Garnish with sliced scallions and serve hot with your favorite sides.
