Creating Air Fryer Sweet Chili Chicken and Brussels Sprouts is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
2. Season the Chicken: Add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated.
3. Prep the Brussels Sprouts: In a separate bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
5. Add Chicken to Air Fryer: Place the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes.
6. Add Brussels Sprouts: After 10 minutes, open the air fryer and add the Brussels sprouts to the basket. Toss them with the chicken.
7. Continue Cooking: Cook everything together for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Serve: Carefully remove the chicken and Brussels sprouts from the air fryer and place them on a serving platter.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
