Frequently Asked Questions:

What Type of Hot Sauce Should I Use?

It seems like there are as many different types of hot sauce as there are people who like it. So, how do you choose the right one? It all depends on your personal preferences. Do you like your food super spicy, or do you prefer a little bit of heat? Are you looking for a hot sauce that has a lot of flavor or one that is more basic? Once you’ve answered these questions, you can start to narrow down your options.

For example, if you want a hot sauce that is very spicy, you might want to try one that is made with habanero peppers. If you’re looking for a hot sauce with a lot of flavors, then you might want to try one that is made with roasted peppers. Ultimately, the best way to choose a hot sauce is to experiment until you find one that you really like. So go ahead and stock up on your favorite brands, and don’t be afraid to try something new. After all, that’s half the fun.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs?

Yes, I have made this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but I find it much quicker and more flavorful when I use boneless, skinless chicken breast.

Can I Make Firecracker Chicken In Advance?

The answer is yes! Firecracker chicken can be easily prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it!

Once it’s cooked, allow the chicken to cool, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat the chicken in a pan, air fryer,  or in oven until it’s hot all the way through.

This method works best if you plan to eat the chicken within a day or two of cooking it. If you want to make firecracker chicken ahead of time and store it for longer periods, freezing is your best bet. Simply cook the chicken according to the recipe instructions, then allow it to cool completely before storing it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw the chicken overnight in the fridge, then reheat it according to the recipe instructions.

What To Serve With Air-Fried Firecracker Chicken?

When it comes to flavorful, yet healthy, chicken dishes, air-fried firecracker chicken is hard to beat. The combination of spices and the crispy coating makes it a delicious and satisfying meal. But what should you serve with it? Here are a few ideas.

Air Fryer Roasted Vegetables: For a simple side, roasted vegetables are always a good choice. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables, and they pair well with the spicy flavors of the chicken. Alternatively, you could make a salad with fresh greens and a light vinaigrette. The acidity of the dressing will help to balance out the spice of the chicken.

If you’re looking for something heartier, rice or quinoa make excellent sides for air-fried firecracker chicken. Both grains absorb the flavors of the dish well, and they provide a filling base for the meal. For an even heartier option, try serving the chicken over a bed of pasta. The starchy noodles will help to tame the spice of the dish, making it more approachable for those who are less adventurous eaters.

No matter what you choose to serve with it, air-fried firecracker chicken is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party. So go ahead and give it a try!
