0.5 cup soy sauce
0.333 cup mirin
0.333 cup sake No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
2 tablespoons sugar
0.5 inch ginger, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons water
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Set aside ¼ to ½ cup for later use.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the teriyaki sauce. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
In a small saucepan, combine reserved teriyaki sauce, cornstarch, and water. Stir until thickened to make the teriyaki glaze.
Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place marinated chicken in a single layer.
Air fry for 6 minutes, then flip and brush with teriyaki glaze. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let cool slightly before serving.

For extra flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on the chicken before serving.
