Easy Air Fryer Chicken Teriyaki Recipe

Our Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken recipe is the perfect mix of a sticky and sweet sauce coupled with deliciously crispy and healthy fried chicken. We use chicken thighs in this air fryer recipe but you could easily adjust to chicken breast or wings if you’d like. Our chicken teriyaki marinade is made up of classic Asian flavors like soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey. All of which combine to provide the perfect teriyaki taste for your dish.

Ease of Making: Medium

We’ve paired our teriyaki chicken with one of our favorite sauteed bok choy recipes, that is loaded with minerals and vitamins. Most notably Bok Choy is high in Vitamin C, K and A. This antioxidant rich vegetable may also reduce your risk of heart disease, fights inflammation and has anti-cancer properties.

Another great side dish for teriyaki chicken is our cauliflower fried rice, which is low in carbs but high in flavor. This recipe combines similar flavors and ingredients of the marinade and would go well with any piece of teriyaki chicken you make in the air fryer. 

How to Cook Teriyaki Chicken Using an Air Fryer

Teriyaki chicken is easy to conquer in the air fryer. All you have to do is place your marinated chicken in the air fryer and press the chicken setting on your fryer to cook.

How to Prepare Bok Choy

Many of you may be wondering, “what is bok choy?” If you’re not familiar with this cruciferous vegetable, it is in the same vegetable family as some more common veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and kale. This group of vegetables is most known for their cancer fighting qualities, low caloric value and high densities of vitamins K, C, E and fiber. 

How to Cut Bok Choy

Bok choy may look like a strange cousin to your average head of romaine lettuce but prepping this vegetable isn’t much different. 

  1. First, you’ll want to rinse your bok choy
  2. Remove the thick white stems by cutting them off with a knife
  3. Gather your bok choy leaves and cut into 1-inch strips

Meal Prep Tips for Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

  1. Marinate your meat for extra flavor and tenderness. By making your teriyaki marinated chicken ahead, you can have your meat soak up all the sauce for an extended amount of time for extra flavor. 
  2. Save some sauce. If you make your meat marinade ahead, save some on the side to brush your chicken with after it has cooked for a sweet and sticky glaze.
  3. Remove the fat from chicken thighs. If you’re looking for a recipe a little lower in fat, try removing the skin from your thigh.

Step 1: Pick a big enough pot so your noodles have room to move around.

Step 2: Don’t salt your pasta water. 

Step 3: Cook for a short amount of time. Soba noodles only need a maximum of 7 minutes (depending on how much you are cooking) in the water before they should be removed. The majority of soba noodles will cook in 3-5 minutes depending on their thickness. You’re aiming for an al dente noodle. Try testing out the noodles at the five minute mark to see how they are coming along. 

Step 4: Rinse! Soba noodles can stick together and form a gummy clump of noodle mess if you don’t immediately rinse the starch from the pasta after cooking. Leave your soba noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water for at least a minute while you whirl them around your pot. Your water should run clear before stopping your rinse.

Soba Noodle FAQ

What are soba noodles? 

Soba noodles are noodles made from buckwheat and whole wheat flours. Soba, is the Japanese word for buckwheat, a food many consider a superfood due to its ability to improve heart health, promote weight loss, and help manage diabetes. This type of a noodle has a mild nutty, earthy taste. 

Where to buy soba noodles?

Dried soba noodles can be found in most grocery stores in the international foods aisle. Look for a noodle that is similar in appearance to spaghetti but slightly flatter and brown in color. 

If you live in an area with a specialty asian food market, keep an eye out for fresh soba noodles which are fantastic as well. 

Do soba noodles have egg in them?

As a general rule, soba noodles are considered vegan and do not have egg. However, there are brands that may include egg so always be sure to check the label. 

Should you rinse soba noodles?

Without a doubt, you want to rinse your soba noodles. This removes excess starch and prevents a big sticky mess.

Are soba noodles bad for you?

Soba noodles are a healthier option than most other pasta options. However, there are some brands that use more refined wheat flour than buckwheat and those would be considered less nutritious. 

How do you cook soba noodles so they don’t stick?

Choose a pot that is large enough to give them plenty of room to move around and rinse them immediately after cooking with cold water. 

Can you use soba noodles for spaghetti?

Sure, you could! Soba noodles are similar to spaghetti in shape and function but will have a nuttier taste than a traditional pasta. 

Meal prep tips for Shrimp Soba Noodle Salad

Our chilled soba noodle recipe is the perfect grab-and-go option for a quick, healthy meal. Here are some tips to make it even better. 

  • If you like your shrimp warm but the salad cool, store them separately in the fridge. You can then reheat the shrimp and toss them in your already chilled salad. 
  • Rinse your noodles. We’ve repeated this multiple times because it’s important.
  • Don’t overcook them. Soba noodles should be served al dente or they can become mushy. Taste your noodles as they cook in an effort to prevent this from happening. 
  • Sub low-sodium soy sauce. If you’re watching your sodium intake, this is a flawless substitution to make this recipe even healthier.

How To Make Sausage Fried Rice

Sausage fried rice is a savory egg and rice dish that is simple and quick to throw together. Much like a stir fry, fried rice is a fool proof meal that can be a great option when you have proteins and veggies on hand but you aren’t sure what to do with them. Our recipe uses sausage links, and a mixture of fresh or frozen mixed vegetables. However, you can substitute in ground sausage, italian sausage, breakfast sausage or pretty much any ground meat you have on hand. 

Ease of Making: Easy

This sausage fried rice recipe uses a traditional whole grain rice but if you’re looking for a lower carb option you can substitute in cauliflower rice like we did in these recipes:

How to Make Sausage Fried Rice

There are many variations of fried rice that is influenced by cultures and meals across the country. The most popular variations are Chinese sausage fried rice, Italian sausage fried rice, and breakfast sausage fried rice. 

For the most authentic experience, try cooking this up in a wok but if you don’t have one then a skillet or frying pan will do the trick. 

How to Cook Fried Rice

Start by mincing garlic, dicing your bell pepper, and slicing sausage into quarter inch circles. If using ground sausage, simply ignore the last step. Once your ingredients are prepped, add oil to a heated wok on medium high heat and saute garlic and sausage until the sausage heats through. Then add in your vegetables and stir. When your vegetables are cooked through, add in the cooked rice and season with soy sauce and garlic powder. Stir the rice well until completely covered with the soy sauce. You can add more soy sauce if needed. 

Now that your base is complete, make a hole in the middle of the pan and crack two eggs into the center. Lightly whisk the eggs with a fork until they scramble and have cooked and firmly set. Incorporate eggs with the rest of the mixture by stirring all ingredients together.

Top off the rice with sprinkles of sesame oil, sesame seeds or sriracha for more flavor and heat. 

Meal Prep Tips for Making Sausage Fried Rice

  • Use rice you’ve already prepared for the week. Day old rice works best in our fried rice recipe. 
  • Sub in mushrooms or tofu for the sausage to make this recipe vegetarian friendly.

The best stir fry vegetables are:

  • Snow peas

How to Make Soba Noodles

We love the versatility of the soba noodle. It can be served cold, warm, dripped, or drunken and more. To make soba noodles, boil the noodles according to package instructions (usually 3 to 5 minutes). It’s important when cooking soba noodles that you have plenty of room in your pot for the noodles to move around. Size up from the normal pot you might use to cook spaghetti. This helps prevent sticking and clumping. 

After your noodles have cooked, be sure to rinse them in cold water. This can help remove the excess starch in the noodle that is notorious for making the noodles stick together. Rinse for about a minute or until the water runs clear through the colander. 

Set aside. 

 How to Cook Chicken Stir Fry

Prepare your stir fry by cutting the onions, bell peppers, chicken into one-inch chunks and mincing your garlic and ginger. Heat oil to a pan over medium-high heat and add in the chicken, cooking until it is fully cooked and a nice golden brown. This should take about five to seven minutes. Once cooked, season your chicken with garlic powder and salt and add the onions, ginger, and garlic to the pan. Stir well to combine. 

When your seasonings and herbs  are thoroughly mixed, add in the hoisin, sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix until chicken is coated in the sauce. Toss in your peas, bell peppers, and your rinsed the soba noodles.

Top it off with sesame oil, sesame seeds and more sriracha if you’d like. 

Meal Prep Tips for Soba Noodle Chicken Stir Fry

  • Keep your extra takeout packets of soy sauce, sriracha, salt, and pepper to take with you on the go to add on top of your prepped meal. 
  • Rinse your soba noodles to prevent sticking. 
  • Substitute in tofu or edamame for vegetarian protein options or leftover salmon, and shrimp for you pescatarians.
