Air Fryer Sesame Chicken
Ingredients
For the chicken
- 1 ½ pounds about 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup arrowroot flour or cornstarch
For the sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 teaspoon chile paste or red chili flakes optional
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice juice of one lime
- 1 teaspoon lime zest zest of one lime
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour or cornstarch
Instructions
For the chicken
- Cut the chicken into chunks, then toss in a bowl with arrowroot flour or cornstarch. Use enough to coat the chicken evenly.
- Spray air fryer tray, spread chicken in an even layer so there's no overlap, and spray with cooking spray.
- Air fryer chicken at 390F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, spraying with a bit more oil.
For the sauce
- While the chicken is frying, make sauce. Add all ingredients to a saucepan (up until ginger), whisking until well combined.
- Bring to a low boil and once the sugar has dissolved, whisk in the water and arrowroot flour or cornstarch.
- Mix in the sesame seeds. (The sauce should only take about 5 minutes or less to make on the stove and then an additional 5 minutes to thicken up.)
- Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Once the chicken is done, remove from the air fryer and place in a bowl, and then coat with the sauce.
