How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Hibachi
Step 1: Prepare the Carrots
Wash and slice the carrots into bite-sized pieces. Add them to your Ninja Crispi cooking container.
Step 2: Pre-Cook the Carrots
Air fry at 390°F for approximately 8–10 minutes to give the carrots a head start.
Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables
While the carrots cook, chop the zucchini and onion into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4: Season the Vegetables
Add the zucchini and onion to the carrots. Drizzle with sesame oil, soy sauce, and Kinder’s Blend Seasoning. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Step 5: Season the Chicken
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a separate bowl, combine the chicken with sesame oil, soy sauce, Kinder’s Blend Seasoning, and avocado oil. Mix well.
Step 6: Add the Chicken
Spread the seasoned chicken over the vegetables in your cooking container. Drizzle with additional soy sauce and Kinder’s Teriyaki Marinade with Garlic & Ginger.
Step 7: Air Fry
Cook at 390°F for approximately 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your chicken pieces and how full your container is. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
Step 8: Add More Sauce
Once the chicken is cooked, stir in additional Kinder’s Teriyaki Marinade and soy sauce to taste. Air fry for another 5 minutes to let the flavors come together.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve your chicken and vegetables over warm white rice. Add extra teriyaki sauce if desired!
Tips for the Best Chicken Hibachi
Avoid overcrowding: Give the chicken and vegetables enough room to cook evenly. Cook in batches if needed.
Customize your vegetables: Mushrooms, broccoli, and bell peppers are delicious additions.
Adjust the sweetness: Add extra Kinder’s Teriyaki Marinade if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
Make your own seasoning blend: If you don’t have Kinder’s Blend Seasoning, use salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Check the temperature: Always make sure chicken reaches 165°F internally before serving.
