Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken dry with a clean paper towel and cut it into 1-1.5 inch cubes.

Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Spray the basket lightly with non-aerosol cooking spray and add the marinated chicken in a single layer.
  3. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Serving

Notes

For best flavor, use thigh meat. Choose a quality teriyaki sauce, and feel free to add ginger or soy sauce for extra flavor.
