Ingredients

4 Frozen tempura chicken nuggets (Nugget-shaped tempura chicken breast patties with rib meat; four nuggets are cooked per batch. The video does not state a total amount.)
0.25 cup Peach preserves
0.25 cup Apricot preserves
2 tbsp Light corn syrup (Honey may be used instead.)
0.5 tsp Soy sauce
0.5 tsp Yellow mustard
0.25 tsp Salt
Garlic powder (A little pinch)
1.5 tbsp White vinegar
1.5 tsp Cornstarch
2 tbsp Water (For the cornstarch slurry)
Cooking oil (For deep-frying; amount not stated)

Steps

1
Put the peach preserves in a bowl.
2
Add the apricot preserves and light corn syrup (or honey).
3
Add the soy sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and a pinch of garlic powder. Whisk together.
4
Add the white vinegar and mix.
5
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry.
6
Pour the slurry into the sauce mixture and whisk thoroughly.
7
Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, whisking as needed.
8
For the air-fryer option, place four frozen nuggets in the air-fryer basket and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes, until fully cooked.
9
For the deep-fried option, heat oil to 360°F (182°C). Lower four frozen nuggets into the hot oil using a skimmer and fry for about 5½ minutes; the creator added about 1 minute because they were not as dark as desired, for about 6½ minutes total.
10
Lift the fried nuggets out of the oil and place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
11
Serve the nuggets with the homemade sweet and sour sauce.

Notes

The transcript also mentions deep-frying at 350°F for 5 minutes as an initial guideline, but the creator’s actual batch was fried at 360°F for about 6½ minutes. The video does not give a total nugget quantity or a sauce yield; the listed four-nugget batch size is not necessarily the full recipe yield.
