• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

For the sauce: Combine broth, sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, garlic, and Sriracha in a medium saucepan. Whisk until cornstarch is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low.

Step 2

Place chicken, cornstarch, and soy sauce into a bowl and stir until chicken is evenly coated. Transfer chicken to the air fryer basket. Spray with cooking spray.

Step 3

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Shake the basket, breaking up any pieces that have stuck together, and spray with cooking spray again. Continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes more.

Step 4

Transfer chicken to a large bowl. Pour sauce over chicken and toss to coat. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

Step 5

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
