Istruzioni

Prepare the Ginger Scallion Oil

Place the minced garlic, minced ginger, and chopped scallions into a heat-proof bowl.

Carefully pour the hot neutral oil over the aromatics. Stir gently.

Add the sesame oil, MSG or salt to taste.

Mix well and set aside to cool slightly. The oil can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator.

Marinate the Chicken

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, minced garlic, chicken powder, MSG, and sesame oil.

Add the chicken and massage the marinade thoroughly into the meat and skin.

Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes (longer if time permits).

Coat and Air Fry the Chicken (20 minutes)

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C, adjusting based on how hot your air fryer runs.

Lightly coat the marinated chicken thighs with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.

Place the chicken skin-side down in the air fryer basket.

Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes, until the skin is deeply golden and crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.

Serve

Slice the crispy chicken and spoon the ginger scallion oil generously over the top.

Serve immediately with rice or vegetables.
