Ingredients

½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
cooking spray
1 teaspoon chopped scallions, or to taste
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

Combine broth, sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, garlic, and Sriracha for sauce in a medium saucepan. Whisk until cornstarch is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low.
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
Place chicken, cornstarch, and soy sauce into a bowl and stir until chicken is evenly coated. Transfer chicken to the basket of the air fryer. Spray with cooking spray.
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Shake the basket, breaking up any pieces that have stuck together, and spray with cooking spray again. Continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 8 minutes more.
Transfer chicken to a large bowl. Pour sauce over chicken and toss to coat. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

Amazing recipe! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced. Will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out delicious. The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Overall, a great recipe!

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was great. I'll try adjusting the cooking time next time.

I've tried many General Tso's chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The air fryer gives the chicken a wonderful crispy texture, and the sauce is incredibly tasty. Will definitely make it again and again!

Not a big fan of the breading, but the sauce was on point. Will try again with a different breading recipe.
