Ingredients for Sticky Air Fryer Thighs
THE CHICKEN: Boneless skinless chicken thighs are extra juicy and quick to cook. They’re not as thick as chicken breasts so they don’t need as much time and since they’re dark meat, they stay moist and juicy. THE SAUCE: Hoisin sauce is a Chinese sauce made from fermented soybean paste with a delicious sweet and salty flavor. A splash of orange juice gives the sauce a sweet and fresh flavor. Add a little sriracha for a spicy kick. VARIATIONS: Sliced green onion makes a great garnish. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes will give the dish a touch of heat.
