Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs skin on
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 ½ tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, mix the oyster sauce, brown sugar, ground black pepper, minced garlic, honey, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and cooking wine.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each thigh is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate overnight. This step is key for maximum flavor, so don’t skip it!
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: When you’re ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and gets that crispy skin.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Arrange the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Cook for 15 minutes, then flip them over and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping your chicken thighs moist and flavorful. Serve with your favorite sides.
