Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 6 Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C). Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip skin-side up and cook for another 10 to 12 minutes until the skin is deeply golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken cooks, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, butter, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the butter melts and the sauce is fragrant and slightly thickened.
- Brush the honey garlic sauce generously over the crispy chicken thighs during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh parsley and serve.
