Creating Sweet Chili Air Fryer Chicken Thighs is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Season the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches.
6. Cook the Chicken: Air fry for 12 minutes at 380°F (190°C). After 12 minutes, flip the chicken thighs over and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Crisp the Skin: If you desire extra crispy skin, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.

By following these steps, you’ll have perfectly cooked Sweet Chili Air Fryer Chicken Thighs that are bursting with flavor!
