Notes

No air fryer? Totally fine. Bake the chicken on a lined sheet pan at 425°F for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Roast the green beans on a separate pan or alongside the chicken for the last 10 minutes.
Larger air fryer? Add the green beans to the basket for the final 8 minutes of the chicken's cook time instead of cooking sequentially.
Check green beans at 7 minutes if yours are on the thinner side.
The reserved dipping sauce keeps in the fridge for up to a week and doubles as a salad dressing or sandwich spread.
Store chicken and green beans in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
