Optional Add-Ons & Extras:

• Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish

• A sprinkle of red pepper flakes or sriracha for added heat

• A side of steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a full meal

• Extra sweet & sour sauce or pineapple chunks for additional 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 cooking while keeping the chicken crispy.

Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Chicken

1. Remove the crispy chicken pieces from the packaging (set aside the sauce packet).

2. Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray for an extra crispy texture (optional).

3. Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 3: Air Fry the Crispy Chicken

• Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.

• For Extra Crispiness: Increase temperature to 400°F for the last 2 minutes.

Step 4: Heat the Sweet & Sour Sauce

1. While the chicken is cooking, place the sweet & sour sauce packet in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes to thaw.

2. Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and toss with the warmed sauce until evenly coated.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

• Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

• Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or stir-fried vegetables.

How to Serve InnovAsian Sweet & Sour Chicken

• Classic Asian Style: Serve over steamed jasmine rice or fried rice.

• Savory Upgrade: Pair with lo mein, egg rolls, or stir-fried bell peppers.

• Spicy Kick: Drizzle with extra sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if necessary.

• For extra crispy chicken, cook 2 minutes longer before tossing in the sauce.

• Want a thicker sauce? Simmer the sweet & sour sauce in a small saucepan for 1-2 minutes before tossing with the chicken.

• For added flavor, sprinkle with garlic powder or Chinese five-spice before cooking.
