Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs cut into bite size pieces
  • 3/4 cup of your favorite teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 onion diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat air fryer to 380°F
  • Trim chicken and cut into equal sized bite size pieces
  • Combine chicken pieces, teriyaki sauce and onion in a bowl or 1 gallon ziplock bag
  • Let chicken marinate for at least 5 minutes (a couple of hours would be ideal)
  • Lightly spray air fryer basket with olive oil
  • Place chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer
  • Air fry for 8 minutes, turning the chicken halfway
  • Check that chicken is properly cooked with a meat thermometer (165°F internal temperature)*
  • Serve over bed of white or brown rice (optional: garnish with sesame seeds for traditional look)

Notes

*If you do not have a meat thermometer, remove the largest piece and cut in half. If still pink in the middle, add 1 more minute at a time until all chicken is cooked properly and safe to eat.
