Ingredients

For the chicken:

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cracked pepper
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
For the Bang Bang sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
½ teaspoon sriracha more to taste.

Instructions

To make the chicken:

Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Add the cornstarch, salt, and pepper to a shallow dish and stir to combine
Whisk the eggs and water together in a second shallow dish.
Dip each piece of chicken into the cornstarch to coat. Dip in the egg, and then back into the cornstarch.
Spray an air fryer basket with non-stick spray and arrange the chicken in an even layer, leaving space for air to flow between each piece.
Spray chicken liberally with non-stick spray, making sure to coat each piece.
Air fry at 380 degrees for 5 minutes.
Flip chicken and spray again with non-stick spray. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes or until an internal thermometer reads 165 degrees.

To make the sauce:

Whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
Taste and add additional sriracha, if desired, for more spice.
To serve:
Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Notes

Be sure to spray the chicken well with oil to avoid dry spots of corn starch.
