Ingredients
  

  • 6 thighs Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch plus more for coating the chicken
  • 1 clove Garlic crushed
  • 8 ounces Canned Pineapple juice reserved
  • 1 Green Pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Onion diced
  • 1 3/4 cups Water
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Distilled White Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Ketchup
  • Cooked Rice optional

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken into cubed chunks, then toss in a bowl with the starch. Use enough to coat the chicken evenly.
  • Place in the Air Fryer and cook according to the Air Fryer Manual for chicken. (Ours is cooked on 390°F for 25 minutes.)
  • Halfway through the cook time, turn the chicken.
  • While the chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the garlic, pineapple chunks with the juice, pepper, onion, water, sugar, vinegar, and the soy sauce.
  • Whisk in the ketchup and let it get to a nice, low boil.
  • Whisk in the cornstarch and continue cooking for about 5 minutes until it’s thickened.
  • Remove the chicken from the Air Fryer and then add the sauce and coat the chicken with it.
  • Top the chicken over the cooked rice.
  • Serve.
