Air Fryer Firecracker Chicken
- Category: Popular |
This is great served with rice, spring onions, a lime wedge and some peanuts. I squeeze the lime over the bowls to help balance the heat.

I think the first time I ever tried firecracker chicken was in Wagamama and I was blown away, I just knew I had to make my own version. This is perfect with noodles, rice or even just on its own with some veg if you are trying to cut down on carbs. I love it, and the addition of the sugar snap peas gives it some crunch. Serving with 200g of rice would add 260 cals and a small handful of peanuts would add another 124 cals.

Method
Step 1
Put the egg in a bowl and combine the cornflour, garlic and seasoning in another bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the cornflour and seasoning mix.
Step 2
Fully coat the chicken in the low-calorie oil spray and air-fry at 200°C (390°F) for 12–14 minutes – you want it really crispy.
Step 3
While the chicken cooks, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.
Step 4
Around 1–2 minutes before the chicken is cooked, spray a wok or deep pan with the low-calorie oil and soften the sugar snap peas.
Step 5
Add the chicken and the sauce to the peas and heat through until piping hot.
