Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breast
- 2/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- Chopped scallions – optional for garnish
- Sesame seeds – optional for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken – pat the chicken dry with a clean paper towel, cut the chicken into 1-1.5 inch cubes, and add it to a medium bowl.
- Coat the chicken – Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss to coat it all. Cover the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Note: if marinating for longer than 30 minutes then place the chicken into the refrigerator.
- Cook – preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the air fryer basket with non-aerosol cooking spray. Add the chicken to the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook it for 12-15 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Serve – Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the air fryer and serve immediately garnished with scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
- You can use chicken thighs or chicken breast. The chicken breast will cook slightly faster than chicken thighs so check it at around 8-10 minutes and continue cooking as needed.
- You can use homemade or store-bought teriyaki sauce
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave until warmed through.
