# Ingredients:
01 -
6 chicken thighs (boneless, keep the skin on)
02 -
2 cloves of garlic, grated with microplane
03 -
3 stalks of green onions, white and green parts separated
04 -
2 tbsp gochujang paste
05 -
2 tbsp honey
06 -
3 tbsp rice vinegar
07 -
1 tbsp soy sauce
08 -
1 tbsp sesame oil
# Instructions:
01 -
If needed, use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to debone the chicken thighs.
02 -
Grate the garlic using a microplane. Thinly slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separated.
03 -
In a bowl, whisk together the gochujang paste, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated garlic. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir to combine.
04 -
Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes (optional for more flavor).
05 -
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken in a single layer and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
06 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F (200°C). Lay the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned and fully cooked. Broil at the last 3 minutes to get a nice brown skin.

Serve this with freshly made rice and garnish with the sliced green parts of the onions and enjoy!
