💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

cornstarch

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: flour

Arrowroot is a gluten-free thickener, while flour is a common pantry staple.

In a small bowl combine the balsamic, soy sauce, honey, garlic, sriracha and ginger and mix well.

Pour half of the marinade (1/4 cup) into a large bowl with the chicken, covering all the meat and marinate at least 2 hours, or as long as overnight.

Reserve the remaining sauce for later.

Preheat the air fryer to 400F.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer to the air fryer basket.

Cook in batches 14 minutes, turning halfway until cooked through in the center.

Meanwhile, place the remaining sauce in a small pot and cook over medium-low heat until it reduces slightly and thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.

To serve, drizzle the sauce over the chicken and top with scallions.
