With the help of your air fryer, this popular General Tso's Chinese chicken dish can be made fresh in your home and on your table faster than delivery. Bonus is that the chicken is air-fried instead of deep-fried making it a more wholesome choice. Serve over rice if desired.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha

Instructions

  1. 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.

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