Instructions

Advertising
  1. Cut the chicken into cubed chunks, then toss in a large bowl with cornstarch and coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer to 390º Fahrenheit.
  3. Add the chicken to the prepared air fryer basket.
  4. Air fry the chicken for 24 minutes until golden brown, tossing the chicken halfway through the cooking time. Add a spritz of oil after tossing the chicken.
  5. Add the sesame chicken sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and whisk over medium heat until the sauce has reached a small boil.
  6. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, whisk in the cornstarch and water. Allow the sauce to thicken for around 5 minutes. Continue to whisk.
  7. Mix in the sesame seeds.
  8. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to continue thickening.
  9. Place the chicken into a medium size mixing bowl and cover with the sauce. Toss the chicken so that each piece is coated in sauce.
  10. Serve topped over rice and garnish with green onion.

 

NOTES

  • Flour is a wonderful substitute for corn starch as it has starch in it already.
  • However, keep in mind; you will need twice as much flour as cornstarch to make homemade sesame sauce.
  • You can also use chicken tenders or chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs. 
  • Instead of corn starch, you can swap out tapioca flour to coat the chicken. You’ll still get crispy chicken without the added carbs
