Method
-
Cut the chicken breast into 1.5 cm fillets. Mix 60 ml soy sauce with the ginger and garlic powder, coat the fillets and refrigerate covered for 2 hours.
-
Plan for 2 air-fryer batches; the stated total is an estimate for that schedule. If your basket needs more batches, allow extra time and do not stack the food.
-
Beat the egg with 30 g cornflour until lump-free. Drain the chicken and discard the marinade that has been in contact with the raw meat. Coat the fillets in the egg mixture and then the breadcrumbs.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 5 minutes. Spray with the olive oil and cook at 190°C for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until it reaches 74°C.
-
Whisk the remaining 15 g cornflour into the cold chicken stock and pour into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring.
-
Add the lemon juice, remaining 15 ml soy sauce and honey. Cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
-
Slice the chicken, spoon over the sauce and serve immediately to preserve the crisp coating.
