- Sesame chicken is one of the most popular recipes on our website. We love it at home too and I make it often.
This is crispy chunks of chicken cooked quickly and easily in the air fryer, then tossed in a tasty sweet and savoury honey-soy-sesame sauce.
Free printable recipe is available on our site: www.kitchensan...
Ingredients
Crispy Chicken:
6 large skinless chicken thigh fillets (this is about 750g/1.65lbs untrimmed or 600g/1.3lbs once trimmed)
3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch in USA)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
3 tbsp oil
Sesame Sauce
1.5 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp garlic powder (or use 2 minced cloves garlic)
1.5 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
3 tbsp light brown sugar
3 tbsp light soy sauce
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
To Serve:
sesame seeds
chopped spring onions (scallions)
boiled or egg fried rice
Instructions
1. Take the chicken thigh fillets, trim off the excess fat, and cut into bite-sized chunks. Put to one side.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cornflour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and paprika.
3. Place the chicken in the bowl with the cornflour, and mix, ensuring every piece of chicken is completely covered.
4. Drizzle the oil over the chicken in the bowl and mix it all up. You should end up with the chicken pieces looking well-coated and quite sticky.
5. Place the chicken in the airfryer basket and cook at 190C/375F for about 15-18 minutes - until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle. Check on the chicken and give it a shake at least 3 times during cooking, to ensure the chicken doesn't stick together. You may have to work in two batches if you have a small airfryer.
6. While the chicken is cooking make your sauce. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl and stir together. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, stirring every minute, until the sauce is hot and slightly thickened (see notes for saucepan alternative).
7. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and toss in the sauce (either in the saucepan or in a bowl).
Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and spring onions and serve. I like to serve with egg fried rice.

Notes
Want to make the sauce in a saucepan instead?
Place all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and mix together to combine. Heat over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce starts to bubble and thicken slightly (this should take about 3-4 minutes). Then turn off the heat.
Make the sauce ahead
Place all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir together. Cover and refrigerate (for up to a day), then heat up when ready.
The sauce amount
Everybody raves about this sauce, and they usually want extra helpings when I make it, so I've increased the amount of sauce in this recipe compared to my original sesame chicken recipe (increased by 50%). This should give enough sauce to coat the chicken, with extra for drizzling over your rice/noodles too. If you only want enough sauce to just coat the chicken, reduce the amount of sauce ingredients by one third. It should take around 1 minute less to heat though too.

Wow we have the same air fryer! Lovely recipe as always 😊
Wonderful,..did your original version, but now that I have an air fryer this recipe is far easier and we are having it for Sunday lunch today 🏴
Made this last night. It was great. I substituted a tbsp of siracha for ketchup for that added extra spice, might put 2 tbsp's in next time. Yum
Top marks for this one. Even the fussy eater (son) in Australia loved it
I never have that much sauce! But one of my many faves from the book!

Hi Nicky, absolutely love your recipes but what would be really helpful would be a video regarding the kitchen equipment/accessories you recommend and use in your cooking - great for those setting up a kitchen for the first time and also those of us whose kitchen equipment needs a refresh!

Thanks for the air fryer recipes.
Can this be frozen once put in sauce?
What volume is this Ninja air fryer? Im hoping to purchase one, as currently have an old tefal rotary arm style one.. undecided which to buy, as some have 2 drawers & cook simultaneously with different temperature settings. Any advice from Nickys followers would be appreciated😊
Wow thank you for this airfryer Playlist, just bought the ninja dual zone airfryer
Can't wait to try this!!
Looks good and easy! Thank you

Hi Nicky.Can you please tell me why you cook on a low oven shelf? TY.

@@JamesAnimalTales ?
@@rectify2003 I tried to eat this, it's delicious
@@JamesAnimalTales Awesome
What kind of oil is mixed with the chicken?...vegetable?
Brilliant
U sound like you have a cold or flu…get well soon N 👍🇬🇧
Yes she sounds a bit hoarse.
If she had the flu she'd be in bed for days not cooking on you tube !!!
The only thing I would change is that I won’t use the microwave oven , it’s not safe so I would heat the sauce in a pan instead.
Being rather lazy, I have been using the lazy person's version of this. When I don't feel like cooking the chicken, I just take frozen chicken nuggets, make them in my air fryer as per instructions on the packet, then make the sauce as in the video and toss the nuggets in it. It's surprising how nice it tastes.
Yummo
I love the way you say Hooney Honey 😂
Could you do the air fryer step in a normal oven?
I don't think there will be such an effect
An air fryer is an oven
sorry, I'm dumb@@alanwllms5172
Ohhhhh….
Too much sugars for me
She says u can cut down on the sugar at the end !!!!!
Let’s try to eliminate the sugar, if you ask me 🤓

Sometimes the keyboard misspells the word for the meaning. But you know what I mean.
@@fabulousrobert6607 why? I like sugar and I love the recipes so I'm v happy thanx
Can you use chicken breasts?
Yes
Nope. Nope! Nppe! Too much of sugars and salts
Doesn't look so good compared to the usual method. I'll stick to that.
I cooked it, it turns out very tasty
Much too much sugar. Sugar kills 😂😂
recipe full of bad ingredients,also you don't reply to loyal subscibers
I do reply to as many comments as I can, especially if I think the answer will be helpful to others. Not sure what you mean when you say 'bad' ingredients.
Sugar kills ! Reduce it please
