Recipe Notes

Cook in batches. When the last batch is done, add the first batch to the Air fryer basket and air fryer for one more minute to keep everything warm. If you want a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar. For extra sauce, double the sauce recipe. Store – in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat them in the microwave until warm. Freeze – freeze the cooked chicken without the sauce in the freezer for 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and crisp up in the Air fryer. Make a fresh batch of sauce and toss to coat.
