Method
For the Chicken
-

-
In a bowl mix the dry ingredients, cornstarch, all purpose flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl crack a large egg and whisk.
-
Take your chicken pieces coat completely with the cornstarch/flour mixture, then dip them in the egg wash. Place these pieces in the air fryer with space between to cook all the way around.
-
Let air fry for 4 minutes, then using tongs, flip the chicken pieces over and cook the remaining 4-5 minutes depending on the thickness of your pieces.
For the Sauce
-
In a medium saucepan before placing over heat, add your chicken broth, then whisk the cornstarch so there are no lumps.

Place the saucepan over medium high heat and add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce. And stir until completely combined.
-
Stir sauce as you bring it to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
-
Pour sauce over the air fried chicken, coating each piece evenly.

Service hot, fresh with rice, noodles, or broccoli.
