Sweet Chili Sesame Chicken Thighs with Air Fryer Crunch is an incredible recipe that offers a delicious blend of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on, or boneless, skinless)
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  2. Marinate the chicken by placing it in a zip-lock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up.
  5. Air fry the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy. Flip the chicken halfway through cooking.
  6. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
  7. Plate the chicken and drizzle with additional sweet chili sauce if desired.

Notes

  • This dish pairs well with rice or vegetables.
