Preparation:
- Dice the chicken into bite-size pieces. Peel and dice the garlic and ginger. Slice the red chilli finely.
Marinade:
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and toss the chicken in. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
Batter:
- Combine the cornflour, curry sauce mix and spice bag mix in a bowl for the batter. Do not add the water unless needed.
- Line the air fryer with parchment paper.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and toss in the cornflour mix. Pop in the air fryer. Spritz with spray oil and cook at 200℃ for 8-10 minutes.
- Shock and refresh the tender stem broccoli. To do this, place the broccoli in boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes. While it cooks prepare a big bowl of cold water and ice. Remove the broccoli from the heat, drain and plunge into the boiling water. After 2/3 minutes remove from the cold water and set aside.
- Check on the chicken halfway through cooking, and spritz with a little more oil. Allow to cook again.
Sauce:
- To make the sauce, put the oil, garlic and chilli in a frying pan.
- Bring up to a warm temperature over medium heat and allow the flavours to develop.
- After 3 minutes, add the oyster sauce ( or soy sauce ), honey, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Pop in the broccoli. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and toss this into the sauce. Toss everything around, and serve in a big bowl, family style.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, finely sliced spring onion, coriander and red chilli.
- Enjoy.
