Air Fryer version of one our most popular recipes EVER! | Air Fryer Sesame Chicken 😋
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Sesame chicken is one of the most popular recipes on our website. We love it at home too and I make it often.
This is crispy chunks of chicken cooked quickly and easily in the air fryer, then tossed in a tasty sweet and savoury honey-soy-sesame sauce.
Free printable recipe is available on our site: www.kitchensanctuary.com/air-...
Ingredients
Crispy Chicken:
6 large skinless chicken thigh fillets (this is about 750g/1.65lbs untrimmed or 600g/1.3lbs once trimmed)
3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch in USA)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
3 tbsp oil
Sesame Sauce
1.5 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp garlic powder (or use 2 minced cloves garlic)
1.5 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
3 tbsp light brown sugar
3 tbsp light soy sauce
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
To Serve:
sesame seeds
chopped spring onions (scallions)
boiled or egg fried rice
Instructions
1. Take the chicken thigh fillets, trim off the excess fat, and cut into bite-sized chunks. Put to one side.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cornflour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and paprika.
3. Place the chicken in the bowl with the cornflour, and mix, ensuring every piece of chicken is completely covered.
4. Drizzle the oil over the chicken in the bowl and mix it all up. You should end up with the chicken pieces looking well-coated and quite sticky.
5. Place the chicken in the airfryer basket and cook at 190C/375F for about 15-18 minutes - until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle. Check on the chicken and give it a shake at least 3 times during cooking, to ensure the chicken doesn't stick together. You may have to work in two batches if you have a small airfryer.
6. While the chicken is cooking make your sauce. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl and stir together. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, stirring every minute, until the sauce is hot and slightly thickened (see notes for saucepan alternative).
7. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and toss in the sauce (either in the saucepan or in a bowl).
Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and spring onions and serve. I like to serve with egg fried rice.

Notes
Want to make the sauce in a saucepan instead?
Place all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and mix together to combine. Heat over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce starts to bubble and thicken slightly (this should take about 3-4 minutes). Then turn off the heat.
Make the sauce ahead
Place all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir together. Cover and refrigerate (for up to a day), then heat up when ready.
The sauce amount
Everybody raves about this sauce, and they usually want extra helpings when I make it, so I've increased the amount of sauce in this recipe compared to my original sesame chicken recipe (increased by 50%). This should give enough sauce to coat the chicken, with extra for drizzling over your rice/noodles too. If you only want enough sauce to just coat the chicken, reduce the amount of sauce ingredients by one third. It should take around 1 minute less to heat though too.

Thanks for the air fryer recipes.
Wow, another amazing recipe. Are you able to freeze leftovers?
Feel better soon!
What volume is this Ninja air fryer? Im hoping to purchase one, as currently have an old tefal rotary arm style one.. undecided which to buy, as some have 2 drawers & cook simultaneously with different temperature settings. Any advice from Nickys followers would be appreciated😊
I have just seen the neff door removal video so thank you for the help
