Method
Step 1
Combine the cornflour and spices in a bowl. Coat the chicken in the beaten egg, then in the spiced cornflour mix. Spray well with the oil spray and air-fry for 14 minutes at 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Mix together the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Step 3
When the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken and air-fry for a further 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens, or add the sauce to a small pan to warm over a low heat.
Step 4
Once cooked, serve garnished with the sesame seeds, chopped spring onions and red chillies. For more fakeaway air fryer recipes like this, you can pick up a copy of my airfryer cookbooks Air Fryer 30 Minute Meals and The Healthy Air Fryer Book on Amazon today.
