Instructions

Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking the chicken thighs evenly and crisply.
Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and olive oil until fully combined to form a rich and flavorful marinade.
Marinate Chicken: Thoroughly coat the chicken thighs with the miso marinade, making sure every piece is fully covered to absorb the delicious flavors.
Air Fry Chicken: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the thighs halfway through the cooking time, until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Ensure the chicken is spaced out in the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking and crispiness.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the chicken thighs and the brand of air fryer.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
Feel free to serve with steamed rice, sautéed greens, or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
