Healthy Marinated Chicken

Let's make something lovely.

1. 01

   Marinate the Chicken:

2. 02

   In a small mortar and pestle (or food processor), finely crush the garlic, black peppercorns, and coriander.

3. 03

   In a large bowl, combine the crushed ingredients with honey, low-sodium soy sauce, golden mountain sauce, sesame oil and salt. Stir the mixture well until fully combined.

4. 04

   Add the chicken to the marinade and thoroughly coat each piece. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the fridge for best results.

5. 05

   Air Fry the Chicken:

6. 06

   Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

7. 07

   Place the marinated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them.

8. 08

   Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. For a crispier texture, flip again near the end of the cooking time.

9. 09

   Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving.

10. 10

    Bake the Chicken in the Oven:

11. 11

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

12. 12

    Place the marinated chicken thighs or breasts on a lined baking tray, making sure they don’t overlap.

13. 13

    Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. The chicken should turn golden-brown with crispy edges.

14. 14

    Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
