Instructions
- In a bowl or jug, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, Mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and cornstarch slurry until smooth. Set aside.
- Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the sauce. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature, or skip if you're in a rush.
- Sprinkle the chicken with cornstarch and toss until each piece is lightly coated.
- Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for at least 5 minutes.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if needed). Air fry for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden, crispy, and fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F/74°C).
- While still hot, toss the cooked chicken with the remaining teriyaki sauce until it’s glossy and coated.
- Plate your chicken over rice with broccoli on the side. Top with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
