🥘 Ingredients
Chicken
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch cubes)
Coating
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
Sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (toasted)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
Garnish
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)
  • 3 green onions (sliced)
📝 Instructions
  1. Toss cubed chicken in cornstarch until lightly coated. Dip pieces in beaten egg. Shared 💡 Cornstarch + egg creates a light crispy coating.
  2. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 390°F. Place chicken in pan in single layer. Cook 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden. Top Oven 💡 Do not crowd — cook in batches for maximum crispiness.
  3. While chicken cooks, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Shared 💡 Toasted sesame oil has dramatically more flavor than regular.
  4. Simmer sauce over medium heat for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Shared 💡 The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Toss crispy chicken in the hot sauce until every piece is coated. Shared 💡 Toss just before serving — sauce softens the crust over time.
  6. Top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve over steamed rice. Shared 💡 The sesame seeds add a nutty crunch that completes the dish.
💡 Ninja Tips

Cook chicken in batches — overcrowding creates steam, not crisp. Toss in sauce just before serving. Toasted sesame oil is worth the extra dollar.

Scaling: Double: Two batches chicken; double sauce. Half: 3/4 lb chicken; halve sauce.
