I love a pared down, simple recipe that’s still full of flavor. These chicken thighs are a fast weeknight take on Huli-Huli chicken – they cook in the air fryer instead of on the grill, and using boneless skinless chicken means they’ll be done in 15 minutes flat.
If you’ve never had this type of marinade before, you’re in for a treat! The combination of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and ketchup is sweetened with brown sugar and spiced with ground ginger and garlic powder. Easy, simple, and balanced.

In The Instant Kitchen Meal Prep Cookbook, Soy-Ginger Chicken Thighs are served with steamed green beans and jasmine rice. Everything’s included in the weekly shopping list, and as part of your weekend meal prep tasks, you’ll trim the green beans, steam the rice, and marinate the chicken thighs. Then on a weeknight, all that’s left to do is steam the green beans in your pressure cooker, reheat the rice in the microwave, and air fry the chicken thighs. Including preheating your air fryer, everything takes about 20 minutes to put together. That’s my kind of weeknight meal!
