FULL STORY
======================================================================

If I see the words 'sticky sauce' on any menu, chances are Im ordering 
whatever food it comes with. Even more so when Im eating in a Chinese 
restaurant where the sticky sauces are full of sweet, salty and spicy Asian 
flavours. 

However, in all my years testing the best air fryers Ive tried (and failed, 
many times) to replicate the sticky, crispy chicken from my local takeout. 
That was until I discovered this air fryer sesame chicken recipe while 
scrolling TikTok. 

The sauce uses quite a lot of ingredients, in small amounts, so it can seem 
expensive if you dont already have them in your pantry. It also makes a bit 
of a mess of your air fryer basket. (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston) 

On the plus side though, once youve bought all the bottles and spices you can 
make this recipe dozens of times before they run out  which I have done. You 
can also put parchment paper in the basket to avoid the mess, or even add the 
chicken to the sauce and heat in a separate pan. 

I made mine in a Ninja Foodi Max Air Fryer. When it came to adding the sauce, 
I removed the chicken pieces from the basket and placed them directly inside 
the fryer to stop the sauce falling through. If you have a similar design, 
this is worth bearing in mind. Ingredients Chicken 300g chicken breast or 
thigh pieces 3 tbsp flour 1 beaten egg 100g panko breadcrumbs or crushed 
cornflakes Sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp honey 2 tbsp sweet 
chilli sauce 1 tsp rice wine (or rice vinegar)  tsp Chinese five spice 3 tbsp 
sriracha 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp grated fresh ginger To serve (optional) 
Sesame seeds Sliced spring onions Chopped red chilli Equipment Air fryer  I 
used the Ninja Foodi Max Cooking spray Three bowls for the flour, egg, and 
breadcrumbs Method 

This recipe is from @ boredoflunch  a home cook who has sold multiple 
cookbooks and whose video version of this sticky air fryer chicken recipe has 
been watched 4.7 million times. (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston) 1. 
Prepare your chicken 

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Coat each piece first in flour, then 
dip into the beaten egg, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs (or 
cornflakes) until fully coated. (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston) 2. Air 
fry until golden 

Arrange the coated chicken pieces in your air fryer basket, in a single 
layer, and lightly spray with cooking oil. 

Set your air fryer at 200 C / 400 F for 14 minutes, shaking or turning the 
pieces halfway so they cook evenly on all sides. I like to spray the 
underside of the chicken, once theyve been turned over so one side isnt drier 
than the other but you dont need to do this. (Image credit: Victoria 
Woollaston) 3. Make the sticky sauce 

While the chicken cooks, mix all of the sauce ingredients together  sesame 
oil, soy sauce, honey, sweet chilli sauce, rice wine, Chinese five spice, 
sriracha, garlic, and ginger  in a bowl until combined. (Image credit: 
Victoria Woollaston) 4. Coat and serve 

Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the top while its still 
inside the air fryer basket. Give the basket a toss until every piece is 
coated and cook for another 2-3 minutes at 200 C / 400 F. 

Serve with rice, and top with sesame seeds, spring onions, and sliced chilli 
for an extra hit of Asian flavours.
