Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Sweet Chili Chicken and Brussels Sprouts is simple and fun! Follow these easy steps to get your delicious meal on the table:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In another bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
4. Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken halfway through for even cooking.
5. Add Brussels Sprouts: After the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes, add the Brussels sprouts to the basket. Arrange them around the chicken evenly.
6. Cook Together: Continue cooking for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the Brussels sprouts are crispy and golden.
7. Garnish: Once finished, remove the chicken and Brussels sprouts from the air fryer. Let them rest for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and color.
8. Serve: Plate the chicken with Brussels sprouts. Drizzle any remaining sweet chili sauce over the top, if desired.
