- Meanwhile, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic and ginger in a small dish and whisk together. Pour the sauce in a large pan over medium-high heat. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
- Once the chicken is crisp, add to the sauce and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Garnish the top of the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
*To get extra crispy chicken, increase the temperature about 25 degrees and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Make sure to shake the basket half way through cooking to ensure the chicken is crisp on all sides.
