Sesame chicken is one of the most popular recipes on our website. We love it at home too and I make it often. I wanted to find a way to make this in the air fryer. Nothing quite competes with frying the chicken in oil, but using the air fryer is a fantastic way to make sesame chicken a little bit lighter, and also quicker to cook. Plus it saves the oil splashes on the worktop from frying the chicken too! The sauce can be made easily in the microwave, or in a saucepan. 👩🍳PRO TIP Try to ensure you keep the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, so it will be nice and crispy all over. You may need to work in two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Some of the feedback from the original sesame chicken recipe was that you guys want more sauce! So this recipe has extra sauce – plenty enough to coat the chicken and sink into the rice. Look how lovely and shiny that sauce is 😍 Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
