Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions and sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Make the marinade: In a bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
