Why It Works
  • The teriyaki sauce is made with a combination of soy sauce, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and ginger. This combination of ingredients creates a delicious and flavorful marinade that helps to tenderize the chicken.
  • The chicken is cooked in an air fryer. This cooking method helps to create a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
  • The sweet potatoes are glazed with honey and olive oil. This glaze helps to caramelize the sweet potatoes and give them a slightly sweet and crispy exterior.
  • The chicken and sweet potatoes are served together. This combination of flavors and textures is delicious and satisfying.
