Method
- Preheat the air-fryer to 180ºC. Season the chicken with salt and set aside for 5 mins.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg and cornflour. Stir the chicken chunks in the egg-cornflour mixture until evenly coated.
- Put the panko breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. Take each piece of coated chicken and roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Place the chicken chunks in the air-fryer and spray liberally with cooking spray. Cook for 7-10 mins, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- In a frying pan add 1 tsp oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 mins until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the crispy chicken chunks to the pan and toss in the sauce until evenly coated and well glazed.
- Add the spring onions to the chicken, tossing to combine. Serve the honey garlic chicken over steamed rice, and enjoy.
