Pour the honey, soy sauce, oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger into a large bowl and mix to create the marinade.
Place half of the marinade in a small bowl and set it aside. This will used as a sauce at the end.
Add the chicken to the remaining honey soy marinade and coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
When ready to air fry, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
Add the chicken thighs to the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer skin side up, and air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and baste them with the remaining honey soy sauce on top.

Preheat the air fryer before putting in the chicken thighs to get a crispy skin.
Pat the chicken dry thoroughly with a paper towel to ensure the marinade sticks.
Leave some room between each chicken thigh.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
