The BEST Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken

This recipe is the BEST Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken you will ever try, and the best part is it is also SUPER easy to make!

The Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken is crispy on the outside, while the meat is super juicy and flavourful on the inside.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you about how addicting soy sauce chicken is!

Once you find out how simple it is to make Soy Sauce Chicken at home, you will be having this for chicken at least once a week! 

My Soy Sauce chicken was inspired by Taiwanese Chicken Bento boxes you find at train stations.

The chicken is super flavorful and tender, while the skin is crispy. Chicken is marinated in the classic Taiwanese ingredients, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, white pepper, and garlic.

Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight to ensure the chicken is tender and flavorful. 

Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken was why I fell in love with my air fryer.

I will be the first to admit I was not a big fan of air fryers. Because I live in an apartment, I don’t like when my kitchen is overcrowded with large appliances.

However, when I started testing recipes, I instantly fell in love with my soy sauce chicken recipe.

The high heat fries the chicken skin until crispy while still keeping all the chicken juices.

Soy Sauce Chicken was one of my first viral recipes on TikTok.

This Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken recipe has been reviewed and approved by YouTubers such as Pro-Home Cooks!

Depending on the air fryer, you may need to watch to prevent the chicken from burning, as every air fryer is slightly different. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake at 400F for 20 minutes.
