- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
- Marinate Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes.
- Spray Air Fryer Basket:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry Chicken:
- Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare Sauce:
- While the chicken is cooking, heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Coat with Sauce:
- Once the chicken is cooked, brush it with the thickened sauce, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the chicken as a garnish. Slice the chicken and serve hot.
