Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 16 oz chicken thighs cut into bite-sized chunks
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Neutral oil spray

For the Hot Honey Sauce

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili flakes

Optional Garnish

  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, and salt. Mix lightly, then add the cubed chicken thighs and dredge thoroughly until evenly coated.
  • Lightly oil your air fryer basket and place the chicken inside in a single layer. Spray the tops with additional oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 13 minutes until crispy and golden.
