Pro Tips for the Best Results

Keep Sauce on Top of the Chicken

Position frozen sauce clumps over the chicken—this helps it melt and coat evenly.

Shake Gently Halfway Through

Stirring helps the sauce distribute and prevents sticking.

Use Parchment for Easier Cleanup

Air fryer liners or parchment (with holes) help contain the sticky sauce.

Serve Immediately

For best texture and flavor, serve hot as soon as it’s done cooking.
