Delicious and easy! Since my crew loves sauce, I doubled the sauce recipe. I used half for coating the chicken/broccoli before air frying then warmed up the other half on the stove with a cornstarch/soy sauce slurry to thicken. Served with rice as suggested. :) Thanks for another keeper!
So glad to hear, Emily! Thank you!
This is probably a dumb question but won’t the liquids go through the holes in the bottom of the the basket?
Hi Martha, my air fryer doesn’t have holes in the bottom of the basket. There is a crisper plate inside that I remove first. Enjoy!
I’m not able to add the sauce to my type of air fryer. would it work to cook the meat and then add the sauce to the meat/ broccoli after taking it out of the air fryer?
Hi Randi, yes I think that would work. I’d heat it a little on the stove or in a microwave before adding. Let me know how it goes!
