Just make sure your chicken reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Watch them closely so as to not overcook. Thighs will cook faster than breasts and probably won't need quite this long. You'll then add the chicken and cook it for about 15-19 minutes (for breasts), flipping it halfway through. Just put the grill grate in the Ninja Foodi/Air Fryer, set it to 500 degrees, and let it preheat. If you decide to use whole boneless skinless chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs rather than cut them into small pieces, that's fine too. In the case of this recipe, I went with the crisper basket because the chicken pieces are fairly small and the basket just holds them better. I always debate whether I should air crisp or grill certain things. I chose to add the sauce afterward because is less messy and less likely to burn. Some recipes cook the chicken in the sauce while others add the sauce after cooking the chicken. The marinade does greatly enhance the flavor though, so I recommend marinating first if you have time. I initially tested this recipe without marinating the chicken first and it was very good just covered in the AIP teriyaki sauce. This turned out fine and it made them crispy, however, I actually liked them better when I skipped this step. I tried this method initially which involved covering the chicken pieces in arrowroot starch before air frying. Some recipes have you dredge the chicken in some sort of flour before putting it in the air fryer. There are several ways to make AIP/Paleo teriyaki chicken, especially in an air fryer, so I experimented with a couple of variations.
