Ingredients
1 Pack of Wow Bao Teriyaki Chicken Bao (frozen)

Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish
A drizzle of extra teriyaki sauce or hoisin sauce for added flavor
Steamed or stir-fried vegetables for a balanced meal
A side of soy sauce or chili oil for dipping
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the bao soft and fluffy.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Bao
Remove the bao from the packaging.
Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray to keep the outer layer from becoming too dry (optional).
Place the bao in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.
Step 3: Air Fry the Teriyaki Chicken Bao
Cook at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even heating.
For Extra Softness: Lightly mist the bao with water before cooking to retain moisture.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the bao from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or a drizzle of teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
How to Serve Wow Bao Teriyaki Chicken Bao
Classic Asian Style: Serve with pickled vegetables and chili oil.
Savory Upgrade: Pair with steamed bok choy or edamame.
Spicy Kick: Drizzle with sriracha or gochujang sauce.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if necessary.
For an extra soft bao, mist with water before air frying.
Want a crispier texture? Increase temperature to 375°F for the last 2 minutes.
For a more authentic texture, wrap each bao in parchment before air frying.
