Crispy Air Fryer General Tso's Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon chopped scallions, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, or to taste
Instructions
1
For the sauce, combine broth, sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, garlic, and Sriracha in a medium-sized cooking vessel. Mix until the cornstarch is fully incorporated into the liquid.
2
Next, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, following the manufacturer's specific guidelines.
3
In a separate container, combine chicken pieces, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Thoroughly blend the ingredients until the chicken is evenly coated with the mixture.
4
Carefully transfer the prepared chicken to the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
5
Cook the chicken in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Periodically shake the basket to separate any clumps, and re-spray with cooking spray as needed. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches a fully cooked state, indicated by it no longer being pink in the center.
6
Transfer the cooked chicken to a large serving container. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Finish the dish by garnishing it with scallions and sesame seeds
