Anweisungen

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Prepare the Chicken: Place panko and coconut on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons oil to fully coat mixture. Spread into an even layer.

Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish and stir in cornstarch. Line the rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stir together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, ginger, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder in a medium bowl. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.

In batches, toss chicken pieces in panko mixture, pressing to adhere and completely cover each piece; transfer coated pieces to prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Let sit 5 minutes to allow breading to set.

Bake in the preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken pieces registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and the coating is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let sit 4 minutes before brushing with Sweet Chili Sauce.

While chicken sits, prepare the Sweet Chili Sauce: Stir together sweet chili sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Brush chicken liberally with sauce.

Transfer chicken to a bowl and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately. Air-Fry Instructions Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 3 minutes. Arrange about 1 1/2 cups of the breaded chicken evenly in basket, with about 1 to 2 inches between each piece. Cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the largest chicken piece registers at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 12 minutes.
