Crispy Sesame & Sweet Chilli Chicken
Crispy Sesame Sweet Chilli Chicken
If you follow me on social media, you'll know I am never without my stash of homemade chicken nuggets in the freezer! They're so versatile, the kids love them AND they can be cooked straight from frozen in the air fryer in less than 20 minutes.... I mean is there a reason you don't have them in your freezer stash?!
Now the kids love these chicken nuggets just as they are (of course, with a huge dollop of ketchup on the side) and I serve them up with my homemade frozen chips, but we tend to go a little more adventurous with ours, aka spicy! Our current favourite is this sesame & sweet chilli sauce, and it's SO good I just had to share the recipe.
As a side note, if you're wondering how I make my homemade chicken nuggets and homemade chips, make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel - you'll find it all on there!
RECIPE
Homemade chicken nuggets - see video here
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 fat garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli dipping sauce
- 1/2 tsp chinese five spice
- 1 tsp ginger puree
- Sesame seeds, optional
Instructions:
- Remove the tray inside the air fryer basket. Cook the homemade chicken nuggets in the air fryer for 18 minutes at 200, or until they are cooked all the way through to a minimum of 75C. Alternatively, cook in the oven allowing 5-10 minutes extra cooking time until thoroughly cooked all the way through.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by adding all the ingredients, except the sesame seeds, to a bowl.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the sauce to the air fryer basket, coat the chicken and continue cook for another 2 minutes. Alternatively, heat the sauce in a small saucepan.
- Serve the chicken drizzled with the sesame & sweet chilli sauce and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. We love this dish served with some white rice & vegetables.
Enjoy!
