Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Inasal Air Fryer
- In a bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, turmeric powder, annatto powder, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down.
- Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 12 minutes. Then flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
- Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Chicken Inasal with steamed rice, a side of atchara (pickled green papaya), and a dipping sauce made of vinegar, soy sauce, and chili peppers.
