Now trust me when I say, there’s NOTHING difficult about this recipe and getting crispy chicken is a cinch using the air fryer – just flour it and let it do its thing!

The sauce itself comes together quickly on the stove and unlike a traditionally rich and gluggy honey chicken sauce, this one remains fluid, so EVERYTHING on your plate gets a lick of naturally sweet honey sauce.

Ingredients

For the chicken

• 6 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
• ¾ cup cornflour
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground sage
• ¼ teaspoon paprika

For the garlic honey sauce

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 cup Nature Nate’s 100% Pure Australian Raw & Unfiltered Honey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2tsp cornflour mixed with 2tsp water
• Black pepper
• 3 spring onions, sliced
• Sesame seeds

Method

1. Cut the chicken into cubed pieces. Don’t trim the fat – that’s what keeps it moist in the air fryer!
2. In a small bowl mix together the cornflour and seasonings. Tip it into the zip lock bag, along with the chicken. Seal the bag and give it a shake to coat the chicken evenly. You could also do this in a bowl.
3. Place the chicken pieces into your air fryer and cook 180° for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Give them a shake halfway through to make sure they don’t stick.
4. To make the honey sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the minced garlic in the olive oil until fragrant (but don’t let it brown!).
5. Stir in the honey, soy sauce and let it come to a simmer. Add the cornflour mix and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding to the chicken.
6. Combine the chicken and sauce, top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve with rice and greens. YUM!
