INGREDIENTS:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sauce Ingredients<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 1\/4 cup soy sauce<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 5 teaspoons Hoisin sauce<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon ground ginger<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 Tablespoon cold water<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds toasted<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Chicken Ingredients<\/span><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • 1 pound chicken thighs boneless skinless<\/span><\/li>\n
    • 1\/3 cup cornstarch<\/span><\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil spray<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      INSTRUCTIONS:<\/span><\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Cut the chicken into cubed chunks, then toss in a large bowl with cornstarch and coat the chicken evenly.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Preheat the Air Fryer to 390\u00ba Fahrenheit.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Add the chicken to the prepared air fryer basket.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Air fry the chicken for 24 minutes until golden brown, tossing the chicken halfway through the cooking time. Add a spritz of oil after tossing the chicken.<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Add the sesame chicken sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and whisk over medium heat until the sauce has reached a small boil.<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, whisk in the cornstarch and water. Allow the sauce to thicken for around 5 minutes. Continue to whisk.<\/span><\/li>\n
      7. Mix in the sesame seeds.<\/span><\/li>\n
      8. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to continue thickening.<\/span><\/li>\n
      9. Place the chicken into a medium size mixing bowl and cover with the sauce. Toss the chicken so that each piece is coated in sauce.<\/span><\/li>\n
      10. Serve topped with rice and garnish with green onion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        NOTES:<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Flour is a wonderful substitute for corn starch as it has starch in it already.<\/span><\/p>\n

        However, keep in mind; you will need twice as much flour as cornstarch to make<\/span><\/p>\n

        Homemade sesame sauce:<\/span><\/h2>\n

        You can also use chicken tenders or chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Instead of corn starch, you can swap out tapioca flour to coat the chicken. You\u2019ll still<\/span><\/p>\n

        get crispy chicken without the added carbs.<\/span><\/p>\n
