🥗Healthier: tofu

Wet the chicken with milk (buttermilk can be used as an alternative).

3

Coat the chicken pieces in cornstarch, ensuring they are well coated.

4

Place the coated chicken into the air fryer.

5

Set the air fryer to the french fry preset and adjust the time to 12 minutes.

If desired, cook the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes for more browning.

8

Serve the chicken over white rice and drizzle with General Tso's sauce.

9

Garnish with fresh scallions and sesame seeds.
