Description

This delicious air fryer chicken dish is amazing. It’s flavorful, and it is so easy to make in the air fryer. I made a simple bourbon sauce and tossed it on top! Easy and Delicious!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound chicken , diced
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup Bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Cornstarch Slurry: 1 tablespoon water, 1-2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Start by cutting the chicken into 1 to 2-inch pieces. Then toss them with the cornstarch.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Then set the chicken into the air fryer basket, air fry for 5 minutes at 370 degrees F, air fryer setting. Then toss the chicken and air fry for another 5-7 minutes.
  • Note: If you have an air fryer basket, shake the basket. If you have an air fryer oven, use a pair of tongs and flip the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce to add the olive oil, bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic into a saucepan. Over low-medium heat until the sauce starts to simmer.
  • If you want to thicken the sauce in a small bowl, make the cornstarch slurry by missing the water and cornstarch.
  • Toss the chicken with the sauce.
  • Serve over rice, plate, serve and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

Note: Since you are heating alcohol, be careful to watch the saucepan.
