Can I use frozen chicken ?

Yes, just be sure to completely defrost before marinating it. Patting it dry before the marinate process it crucial too so water doesn't meddle!

How long will the leftovers last ?

For 3 to 4 days, just be sure you store it in an airtight container.

Yup! Bell peppers and onions work best!. Put it in for the last 8- 10 mins, so it won’t be burned when the chicken has already started to be cooked!

You do not, it taste better that way - BUT you do not!

Air fryers vary! Your temp might be more effective and the result quicker for less cooking time

Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 2-inch pieces and place them in a bowl.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Set aside 1/4 cup of this mixture for later.
Marinate the Chicken: Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken pieces, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to marinate.
Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces and cook for another 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Thicken the Sauce: In a small pan, mix the reserved sauce with the water-cornstarch slurry. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Serve and Garnish: Toss the cooked chicken in the thickened teriyaki sauce. Serve over white rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Marinate Longer for More Flavor: While 20 minutes works, marinating for up to 1 hour gives even more flavor.
Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer: Cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking.
Check Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve Suggestions: Pair with steamed rice, sautéed veggies, or even noodles for a complete meal.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a quick crisp-up.
