Guidelines

Chickenwith Sweet and Sour Flavor Guidelines:

  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces first.
  • After the chicken has been chopped to perfection, proceed to prepare the dipping stations.
  • Combine the cornstarch, five-spice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Blend thoroughly.
  • Beat the egg in a separate bowl and mix in the sesame oil.
  • Stir until thoroughly combined. Apply a layer of olive oil spray to the basket.
  • Chicken is dipped in the cornstarch mixture.
  • Afterward, return to the cornstarch mixture after adding to the egg mixture. Put them in the air fryer basket as you batter them.
  • Apply a liberal amount of olive oil spray.
  • For five minutes, set the temperature to 370 degrees. Five minutes later, turn them over and give them a generous spraying of olive oil to ensure the batter crisps up. Five more minutes of air fry time. Over the chicken, drizzle the sauce.

  • Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, whisk into the sauce, and simmer for an additional five minutes to thicken.
