Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Sweet Chili Chicken and Brussels Sprouts is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. Season the Chicken: Add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Prep the Brussels Sprouts: Halve the Brussels sprouts and add them to a separate bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
6. Add the Brussels Sprouts: After 8 minutes, add the Brussels sprouts to the basket with the chicken. Cook for an additional 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: Make sure the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and that the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken and Brussels sprouts from the air fryer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the dish and enjoy this delicious combination of flavors!
