    Ingredients

    Chicken Breasts. I use boneless skinless chicken breast in this to make it a bit of a better-for-you, healthy recipe.

    Substitutions & Variations

    Chicken Breasts. You can always use boneless skinless chicken thighs to make this into an air fryer teriyaki chicken thighs recipe. The fat content is a bit higher in chicken thighs, but that does mean more flavorful chicken.

    Teriyaki Sauce. You can make an easy homemade teriyaki sauce using water, brown sugar, garlic powder, honey, soy sauce, ginger and cornstarch.

    Soy Sauce. If you're looking to make a gluten-free teriyaki sauce, simply swap out the soy sauce for coconut aminos. Kikkoman also makes a gluten-free teriyaki sauce if you want to purchase it! Alternatively, if you're watching your sodium intake, you can also use low-sodium soy sauce.

    How to air fry teriyaki chicken

    1. Slice your chicken into bite-size pieces and place into a large bowl. Pour your teriyaki sauce over it and use tongs to toss the chicken to make sure it's evenly coated. Optional: cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
    2. Preheat your air fryer to 375F.
    3. Spray your air fryer basket with non-stick spray.
    4. Spread the chicken in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 12 minutes shaking halfway.
    5. Garnish with green onions and or sesame seeds.
    6. Serve on a bed of rice (white rice, brown rice or cauliflower rice) plus some veggies of your choice.

    Recipe Tips

    Marinate the chicken! If you have the extra time, it really adds such a great level of flavor and gives you the best results.

    Preheat your air fryer. This is essential for air fryer cooking. Think of your air fryer like an oven, for the most even cook, you have to preheat.

    Cooking Time. If you don't dice your chicken into cubes and prefer to leave them as whole breasts, you'll want to cook your chicken for 20-22 minutes, flipping halfway.

    Storing and reheating air fryer chicken teriyaki

    Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. You can reheat leftovers by microwaving the chicken in 30-second increments or air fry it at 300F for 3-5 minutes. I think air frying the leftovers it the best way to reheat.
