Directions
This is very famous Taiwaness street food which using a lot oil to deep fry the chicken. crispy out side and juicy inside, very addictive. I was craving for Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but I also want it be healthy, and using less oil.
I decided to make them in the air fry, the best part of using AirGo air fry which you do not need basket, with the conductive heat its go through the chicken inside and out very well. I tried couple times with different temperatures and time, finally had good results. and I am glad to share with you all here.
with Basil I picked some from my little garden which not growing well yet, but with the receipt you can use about hand full basil which able to lay on the chicken evenly, it will turn to crispy and goes very well with chicken.
