Method

Cook the sauce until glossy and coating. Add the chicken last so it stays crisp.

01
Get set
Take the chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw chicken.
02
Coat
Toss the bites with the corn flour, salt and pepper until lightly coated. Spray with oil.
03
Air fry
Cook at 190 °C in a single layer for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway, until golden. Cook until no pink remains and the juices run clear, or 74 °C at the thickest part if you use a thermometer.
04
Make the sauce
Whisk all the sauce ingredients in a small pan. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until thick and glossy.
05
Toss
Toss the hot bites through the sauce for 30 seconds.
06
Build the bowls
Divide the rice, broccoli and carrot into bowls. Top with the glazed chicken and sesame seeds.

Questions

Can I use bottled orange juice?+
