This is a volume-friendly air-fryer article in the best sense: familiar food, a real photo, and a slightly different lane from the version already in the archive. Chicken pieces glazed with pineapple, soy, brown sugar, and ginger until sticky at the edges.

The basket does the useful work here — concentrated heat, browned edges, and less oil than the stovetop version. Keep the pieces even, shake once or twice, and let the last two minutes decide the colour.
