Ingredients
  

  • 6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • Cornstarch or Potato Starch
  • 1/2 Cup Pineapple Chunks Reserve Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Diced Sweet Onion
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper Diced
  • 1 Red or Orange Bell Pepper Diced
  • 1/4 Cup Pineapple Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Gluten-Free Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 1/4 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 Tbsp Water

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken into chunks and coat with cornstarch, use about 1/4 cup and then add more if needed to fully coat the chicken.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Add the chicken and cook at 390°F for 10 minutes, open the lid, stir it up, and spray another coat of oil.
  • Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple, onion, bell pepper, pineapple juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and ground ginger.
  • Bring this up to a low boil for about 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
  • Combine the 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch with 1/2 Tbsp of water to create a slurry, lower the heat on the sauce, and whisk in the slurry to thicken.
  • Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes to thicken.
  • Mix the sauce with the chicken.
  • Serve with cooked rice.

Notes

Remember all air fryers heat differently, be sure to use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the chicken.
