Start by preparing the marinade in a bowl.

Add 4 tablespoons of soy sauce to the bowl.

Add 2.5 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl.

Add 1 heaping tablespoon of garlic to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of ginger to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of gochujang to the bowl, adjusting for heat preference.

Mix the marinade and taste it to adjust flavors if necessary.

Place 3 boneless skinless chicken thighs into a Ziploc bag.

Pour half of the marinade into the bag with the chicken thighs.

Seal the bag, removing most of the air, and squish the chicken around to coat it in the marinade.

Let the chicken marinate for about 2 hours in the fridge.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

After preheating, place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down, in a flat even layer.

Cook the chicken for 14 minutes, checking for doneness as cooking times may vary.

While the chicken is cooking, pour the leftover marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a boil to make it food safe.

After a few minutes, the sauce should thicken; adjust with cornstarch if desired for stickiness.

Check the chicken after about 10 minutes to see if it needs flipping; cook for an additional 5-6 minutes if necessary.

Prepare miracle rice according to package instructions, microwaving for 60 seconds.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and brush it with the leftover sauce before serving.
