- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Pour the honey, soy sauce, oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger into a large bowl and mix to create the marinade.

- Step 4: When ready to air fry, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.

Notes
Preheat the air fryer before putting in the chicken thighs to get a crispy skin. Pat the chicken dry thoroughly with a paper towel to ensure the marinade sticks. Leave some room between each chicken thigh. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
