Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
- Place frozen chicken pieces in a basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 13-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165º F.
- While chicken is cooking combine rice vinegar, cane sugar, water, red pepper flakes, soy sauce and chili garlic in a sauce pan except for 3 Tbsp water and
cornstarch. - Mix to combine and bring sauce to a simmer, allow to cook for 4-6 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine the cold water and cornstarch to create a slurry – add slurry to the simmering sauce and continue to stir to activate the cornstarch. The mixture will start to thicken up.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes and remove from heat.
- Allow to cool before plating.
- To assemble, place one piece of romaine lettuce on a plate, followed by your desired amount of sliced carrot, cucumber and cabbage. Place 1 chicken strip and top with sweet chili sauce and garnish with sliced green onions.
- Optional: dice chicken and toss in the sweet chili sauce before plating and then follow up with more sauce as a garnish.
- Serve and enjoy!
