Amounts are scaled from the original 4 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.

Steps

1. Toss the chicken with 2 tbsp cornstarch and salt.
2. Fry in oil over medium-high heat in batches 6-7 minutes until golden and 165°F.

Swaps

• Tamari or coconut aminos work in place of soy sauce (tamari is usually gluten-free; check the label).
• Use 1/4 tsp ground ginger for each 1 tsp fresh ginger.
• Maple syrup or sugar can replace honey (maple keeps it vegan).

Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
