Vortex Air Fryer Mall Bourbon Chicken

Vortex Air Fryer Mall Bourbon Chicken

It took me forever but I FINALLY created a true mall-style Bourbon chicken recipe. This has taken YEARS of trial and error and the funny thing is, the key is the Vortex Air Fryer!

I have tried every way possible but cooking the chicken IN the sauce in the air fryer seems to be the key to getting it just right 😉

Enjoy!

• 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
• 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
• ½ cup Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey

Instructions

• Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
• Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, powdered ginger, dried minced onion, and whiskey in a bowl and pour over chicken pieces in the pan. Make sure the pan will fit inside your air fryer first!
• Cover and refrigerate for several hours until overnight.
