Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 to 2 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)
  • Sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Toss chicken pieces with cornstarch, oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange chicken in a single layer and air fry 5 minutes, then shake the basket and cook 5 to 7 minutes more until golden and cooked through.
  3. While the chicken cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth.
  4. Transfer hot chicken to a bowl, pour sauce over it, and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Notes

The sauce thickens a bit as it sits; if it gets too thick after mixing, stir in a teaspoon of water. Leftover sauce is also great tossed with shrimp or spooned over roasted vegetables.
