Soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce provide savory depth, while sugar, honey, and lime juice contribute a bright, sweet tang.\n\n\n\nGinger, garlic, and sambal add a gentle kick, and a sprinkle of cilantro keeps everything fresh. The result is flavorful yet wonderfully nuanced.\n\n\n\nOr pair it with delicious fried rice for extra pep\n\n\n\nWhy cook the chicken in an Air Fryer?\n\n\n\nCooking this recipe in an Air Fryer has several advantages.\n\n\n\nFirst, it cooks in a fraction of the time. Second, the Air Fryer needs very little oil, so the dish is lighter than roast chicken made the conventional way.\n\n\n\nFinally, the circulating hot air leaves the meat juicy and the skin irresistibly crisp and golden. In short, pure happiness. You can also try my air-fryer crispy pork\n\n\n\nAir-fryer cooking is not suitable for every dish. For instance, the batter on my crispy honey-garlic chicken would not set properly\n\n\n\nKey ingredients for Vietnamese air-fried roast chicken\n\n\n\n\nLight soy sauce: brings saltiness as well as depth and color to the dish\n\n\n\nFish sauce: a fermented fish-based sauce that adds salty, umami richness, deepening the Asian flavors and adding another layer of complexity\n\n\n\nOyster sauce: this thick, savory sauce adds sweetness, intensity, and another hit of umami that ties the flavors together\n\n\n\nSambal Oelek: sambal oelek is an Indonesian chili paste that lends a spicy, slightly fruity kick, waking up the whole dish\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tVietnamese Air-Fryer Roast Chicken\n\t\t\n\t\tJuicy Vietnamese-style chicken thighs roasted to perfection in the air fryer.\t\n\t\n\t\tair fryer\t\n\t\n\t\t1 kg bone-in chicken thighs40 ml light soy sauce60 ml fish sauce25 g granulated sugar2 tablespoons honey3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped2 tablespoons fresh lime juice1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated6 cloves garlic, minced1 tablespoon oyster sauce3 teaspoons sambal oelek\t\n\t\n\t\tWhisk together all the marinade ingredients, add the chicken, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours if pressed for time).Preheat the air fryer to 195 \u00b0C.
