Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into small bite-sized pieces so they cook fast and get those crispy edges.
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken with cornstarch, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until everything is lightly coated.
  3. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer and give them a little space so they crisp instead of steam.
  4. Air fry at 400°F until golden and cooked through, shaking halfway so nothing sticks.
  5. In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth.
  6. Transfer the hot chicken to a bowl and toss it in the sauce until every piece is glossy and coated.
  7. Return the chicken to the air fryer briefly just to let the sauce tighten up and get slightly sticky.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
