Notes
How Can I Make This Dish Allergy-Friendly?
Regular soy sauce normally contains both soya and gluten, here are some easy tweaks to make this recipe both gluten-free and soya free.
Make It Gluten-Free – Swap out regular soy sauce for a gluten-free version or use tamari sauce instead. You can buy both of these in most major supermarkets.
Make It Soy-Free – Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. A brand I love is Biona & you can pick this up in most big supermarkets or on Amazon.
Lauren’s Tips
- Marinate:I recommend marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better for flavour!
- Use A Meat Thermometer: The best way to check chicken is cooked is to use a meat thermometer. It’s my favourite kitchen gadget, no more dry chicken!
- Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs, they may take less time or longer to cook. Check them regularly to avoid overcooking.
- Add More Sauce: Spoon any leftover juices from the air fryer over the chicken before serving for extra juiciness and flavour.
