Equipment

  • Air fryer or oven
  • Mixing bowls
  • Wok or frying pan
  • Small saucepan
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • For the Honey Soy Sauce:
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • Pinch of sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tsp water
  • For the Chicken:
  • 350 g chicken breast strips
  • 60 g cornflakes crushed
  • 1 whisked egg
  • Salt and pepper
  • Handful of spring onions for garnish
  • Chopped coriander for garnish
  • For the Noodles:
  • 2 nests of dried noodles
  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Honey Soy Sauce.
    Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan. Warm the mixture over medium heat until it thickens slightly. Stir occasionally and set aside, saving a bit of sauce for drizzling later.
  • Make the Crispy Chicken.
    Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, then toss them in cornflour until evenly coated.
    Dip each piece in whisked egg, followed by the crushed cornflakes.
    Cook in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes.
  • Coat the Chicken.
    Once the chicken is cooked, toss it in the honey soy sauce until evenly coated. Save some sauce for extra drizzling when serving!
  • Cook the Noodles.
    Boil the noodles according to the packet instructions.
    In a wok, fry the diced onion until soft, then add soy sauce and oyster sauce.
    Toss the cooked noodles into the wok and mix well.
  • Plate and Serve.
    Serve the crispy honey soy chicken over the noodles. Garnish with chopped spring onions, coriander, and an extra drizzle of the sauce.

Notes

  • Chicken Coating: Make sure the chicken strips are dry before coating to ensure the cornflakes stick well.
  • Sauce Consistency: Don’t let the sauce boil for too long, as it can become too thick.
  • Even Cooking: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for crispy results.
