How to Use an Air Fryer to Cook General Tso Chicken (Alternative Version)

This is a general Tso chicken recipe that uses an air fryer. It is a quick and easy way to cook this dish without the need for deep frying.

An air fryer is a great tool for cooking because it can be used with various types of food. The only thing you need to do is make sure you have the right amount of oil before starting to cook.

Air-Fried General Tso Chicken Recipe Ingredients:

โ€“ 4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced thinly

โ€“ 2 tbsp cornstarch

โ€“ 2 tbsp canola oil

โ€“ 1/4 cup chicken broth

โ€“ 1/4 tsp salt

โ€“ 1/4 tsp black pepper

โ€“ 4 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon) or 3 tablespoons of ginger and garlic paste

โ€“ 3/4 cup soy sauce

โ€“ 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes-

3 tbsp hoisin sauce, divided

โ€“ 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, and carrots)- 2 green onions, chopped

To start off the process you need to pour 1 tablespoon of canola oil into your air fryer. Next, you will need to place the chicken in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the chicken.

After you have mixed the seasonings into your chicken it is time to place a wire rack into the bottom of your air fryer. Next line up your sliced chicken in rows on top of the wire rack.

You need to set the timer for about 8 minutes at 350 degrees. After eight minutes you will need to flip your chicken and set the timer for another 8 minutes.

Repeat this process two more times for a total of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove your chicken from the air fryer and place it on a plate. To make the two sauces combine 1/8 cup of soy sauce with 3 tablespoons of water.

Place the chicken back in the air fryer and cook for another 2 minutes before serving.
