Description

Master these Air Fryer Chicken Yakitori skewers with a savory-sweet soy glaze. Perfectly charred, tender chicken and scallions made easy in the air fryer—no grill required!

Ingredients 

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Mirin Rice Wine
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 2/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, ground or fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch

Chicken Ingredients:

  • 1 pound Chicken Thighs or Boneless Chicken Breast
  • Salt & Black Pepper To Taste
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Green Onions

Instructions

  • Start by making the sauce in a medium-sized saucepan, mix the soy sauce, water, mirin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch. Mix well. Bring to a low simmer, and then remove from heat.
  • Split the sauce into two bowls, one will be the chicken’s marinade, and the other one will be the dipping sauce to serve with the chicken.
  • Dice your chicken into 1 to 2-inch pieces. Then pour the marinade in and mix well. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Thread the chicken through the skewers, spay the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 370 degrees F, air fryer setting for 5 minutes, then flip the chicken (with tongs), and air fry another 5-8 minutes.
  • Garnish with salt, black pepper, sesame seeds and green onions before serving. (optional)
