Lower Point Air Fryer Cashew Chicken Directions:
- Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook Chicken: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Add the marinated chicken to the basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
- Cook Vegetables and Cashews: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and set aside. Add the cashews and vegetables to the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the cashews are toasted.
- Combine and Serve: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, vegetables, and cashews. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can stir in the cornstarch mixed with water and heat in a small saucepan until thickened. Serve immediately.
