Air Fryer Sesame Chicken

I’ll tell you this again but one of my favorite air fryer chicken recipes is this Air Fryer Honey Garlic Chicken. I have found though that I can easily use the same method with a variety of sauces.

I decided to adapt this Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken and use the sauce for Air Fryer Sesame Chicken.

I wasn’t disappointed, it was delicious and a wonderful switch from our honey garlic variety.

Most of the air fryer recipes that I make are also gluten-free, I opted to make this gluten-free as well; however, I will say it’s a bit more time consuming than the others if you want to make this gluten-free.

How do you make Gluten-Free Air Fryer Sesame Chicken?

Finding the gluten-free soy sauce is rather easy at the store, they actually carry it at our local Walmart. Now to find the gluten-free hoisin sauce, I found that nearly impossible. It used to be readily available and it may have just been my location; however, you do need this sauce, you can simply make it yourself.

That’s right, it’s easy to make it yourself too, so be sure to follow this Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce and you’ll have this dish gluten-free in minutes!

What is Hoisin Sauce?

This sauce has the texture of molasses. It’s got a sweet and spicy taste and is very similar to what I would consider a barbecue sauce. It’s used on grilled meats and also in this sesame sauce.

What do you need for Air Fryer Sesame Chicken?

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
• Cornstarch
• Soy Sauce
• Brown Sugar
• Orange Juice
• Hoisin Sauce
• Ginger
• Garlic
• Sesame Seeds
• Green Onions

Optional items that you could add would be rice and green beans, which is our preferred foods to serve sesame chicken with.

Another great tool to have on hand is a quick test thermometer. This will allow you to check the internal temperature to be sure the chicken is fully cooked at 165 degrees or more.
