Chicken
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by taking the chicken and marinating it in soy sauce for **1 to 2 hours**. This will infuse the chicken with a rich flavor.
After marination, cook the chicken in an air fryer set to the ‘**chicken**’ mode for **15 to 20 minutes** or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt **30 grams (2 tablespoons) of butter**. Once melted, add **1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour** and whisk continuously for about **2 minutes** until you achieve a smooth roux.
Slowly pour in **240 milliliters (1 cup) of milk**, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, which should take around **4 to 5 minutes**.
Add **4-5 slices of processed cheese** and **100-150 grams (1 cup) of corn** to the sauce, stirring until the cheese is fully melted.
Season with **salt** and **black pepper** to taste, mixing well before removing from heat.
Step 3
Take the hot dog buns and carefully open them. **Toast** them lightly on a skillet for added flavor and texture.
Place the cooked chicken into each of the buns, then generously drizzle the cheesy corn sauce over the top. Make sure each bite is **full of flavor**!
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious cheesy chicken hot dogs!

A medium pot is perfect for making your cheesy corn sauce. Make sure it has a heavy base to avoid scorching.
A wooden or silicone mixing spoon is ideal for stirring sauces and ensuring even consistency. Avoid metal spoons which can scratch cookware.

Gluten-Free: Substitute regular hot dog buns with gluten-free buns. Make sure to check the chicken seasoning for any hidden gluten. This way, everyone can enjoy this tasty treat!

Faq
- What if I don't have an air fryer?
You can roast the chicken in a conventional oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked!
- How can I tell when the chicken is cooked through?
The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to be considered safe to eat. A meat thermometer is a handy tool for this!
- Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Frozen corn is a great alternative and is often more convenient. Just make sure to thaw it before adding it to your cheese sauce.
- How can I get my sauce to be extra creamy?
Adding just a bit more cheese or using cream cheese instead of regular cheese can make your sauce irresistibly creamy!
- Can I make these hot dogs ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare everything ahead and keep the components stored separately in the fridge. When it's time to serve, just reheat the chicken and sauce!
- How do I properly store leftovers?
Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove before serving again!
