Ingredients

• 1 Del Corazon Crispy Chicken with Sweet Chipotle Sauce (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

Optional Add-Ons & Extras:

• Chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

• Cracked black pepper or chili flakes for extra heat

• A squeeze of fresh lime juice for added brightness

• A drizzle of extra chipotle sauce or honey for enhanced flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the chicken crispy.

Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal

1. Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.

2. Separate the chicken from the sauce to ensure the chicken stays crispy while heating.

3. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray for extra crispiness (optional).

Step 3: Air Fry the Crispy Chicken & Sauce

• Chicken Only: Cook at 375°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.

• Sauce Heating: After 8 minutes of cooking, place the sauce in a small heat-safe bowl and air fry alongside the chicken for the remaining time.

• For Extra Flavor: Brush the chicken with sauce in the last 2 minutes for a caramelized glaze.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

• Carefully remove the chicken and sauce from the air fryer and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

• Toss the crispy chicken in the sweet chipotle sauce or drizzle it over the top.

• Garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, or chili flakes for extra flavor.

How to Serve This Crispy Chicken with Sweet Chipotle Sauce

• Classic Mexican Style: Serve with Mexican rice and black beans.

• Savory Upgrade: Pair with warm tortillas and avocado slices.

• Spicy Kick: Drizzle with extra chipotle sauce or hot honey.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Flip the chicken halfway through cooking for even crisping.

• For extra caramelization, brush with sauce and cook an additional 2 minutes at 400°F.

• Want extra crunch? Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips or toasted sesame seeds before serving.
