Have You Tried this Hibachi Style Chicken in the Air Fryer?

Today, I’m thrilled to unveil the art of crafting hibachi-style chicken using the air fryer. This culinary inspiration sparked from a TikTok video, and my friend, Kristin, and I decided to give it a whirl, as captured in our video. The results? Simply exquisite! While this isn’t the conventional hibachi grill technique, rest assured, the air fryer does wonders for this dish!

Ingredients for Hibachi Chicken

In a mere half-hour, you can have this recipe prepped and ready to go! The ingredients are uncomplicated, yet the flavors are nothing short of luxurious. To prepare the chicken and vegetable, you will need:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 8 oz of mushrooms, quartered
• 2 small zucchinis, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• 1/4 cup of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Before you start the air frying process, ensure that all veggies are appropriately sized. This will significantly expedite the cooking process in the air fryer!

How to Make Hibachi Style Chicken in the Air Fryer

Once your ingredients are prepped and ready, preheat your air fryer to 400°F/204°C for 5 minutes. Then, coat the chicken and vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, along with the array of seasonings (ground ginger, black pepper, garlic powder, and soy sauce).

Arrange the seasoned chicken and veggies within the preheated air fryer basket. Layer them meticulously and cook at 380°F/193°C for 15 minutes.

Remember to give the ingredients a stir and inspect the chicken halfway through. I discovered that the chicken didn’t require extensive cooking. The precise cooking time can vary based on your air fryer’s make and model, making an instant-read thermometer invaluable for gauging doneness.

Once your chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F/74°C, retrieve the chicken and veggies from the air fryer basket and savor them with the tantalizing yum yum sauce!

How to Make Yum Yum Sauce

A wise friend once claimed that the presence of yum yum sauce guarantees culinary excellence. And let me tell you, this homemade yum yum sauce lives up to that reputation! To create the delectable yum yum sauce for your air-fried hibachi-style chicken, you’ll need:

• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1 teaspoon of tomato paste (or ketchup)
• 1 tablespoon of melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of paprika

Combine all these elements in a bowl and blend until thoroughly integrated. Yes, it’s truly that simple! You’ll be enchanted by the delectable, creamy, garlic-infused essence of this homemade yum yum sauce, especially when paired with the freshly air-fried hibachi chicken you’ve just masterfully prepared!
