How to make Hot Honey Chicken Summer Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Prepare the Chicken
- Step 1
Whisk together the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken thighs. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes.
- Step 2
Air fry the chicken at 375°F for 14-16 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Prepare the Vermicelli Noodles
- Step 1
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables and Herbs
- Step 1
Thinly slice the carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, green onion, and cilantro to make them easy to roll.
Assemble the Summer Rolls
- Step 1
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet until just soft, about 10–15 seconds.
- Step 2
Layer noodles, veggies, and herbs just off the center of the rice paper, then add chicken. Roll once, fold in the sides, then roll it up like a burrito.
Make the Peanut Dipping Sauce
- Step 1
Whisk together all the sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Thin with warm water until it reaches the desired consistency.
