chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians; chicken thighs are often cheaper than breasts.

In a Ziploc bag, combine 2 cups of flour and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of ground ginger, 1 tablespoon of salt, 0.5 tablespoon of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture and shake well.

Take about 2 pounds of chicken (a mix of dark meat and light meat), clean it, and pat it dry.

Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring a nice coating, and zip the bag tightly to mix.

Set the coated chicken aside while preparing the wet mixture.

In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Thai chili oil.

Preheat the Ninja Foodi to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.

Coat the chicken in the wet mixture and then place it in the Ninja Foodi, ensuring there's enough space for browning.

Air fry the chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, checking for a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

After the first batch, add the second batch to the Ninja Foodi for an additional 2 minutes to warm it up.

Prepare the glaze by mixing 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce, a splash of agave syrup, a splash of rice wine vinegar, some garlic powder, onion powder, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds.

Add a little hot sauce to the glaze for extra heat.

Coat the warm chicken in the glaze to help it adhere and stick to the crust.

Serve the glazed chicken over steamed rice, garnished with additional green onions.
