Notes
Make sure to toss the chicken well in the sauce for even flavor. Cooking time may vary based on the size of the chicken pieces; smaller pieces cook faster. You can substitute the chicken with tofu or beef for a different twist. Keep an eye on the chicken while it cooks to prevent overcooking. Add more vegetables into the air fryer for a complete meal in one batch!
