Instructions
Preparing the Chicken:
Cut the chicken into cubed chunks and toss them in a bowl with cornstarch or potato starch until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket and cook according to the air fryer manual for chicken, approximately 24 minutes (12 minutes on each side).
Making the Sauce:
While the chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan, mix together honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, crushed garlic, and ginger.
Bring the mixture to a low boil and whisk in the cornstarch continuously until the sauce is thickened to your desired consistency.
Add more cornstarch if needed.
Set the sauce aside.
Coating the Chicken:
Once the chicken is cooked, mix it into the sauce and warm it up.
This can be done in a small skillet or the saucepan.
Simply coat the chicken with the sauce until it becomes sticky.
Serving:
Serve the garlic chicken over cooked rice and green beans.
Garnish with sliced onions and green onions.

Wine Advice:
Pair this flavorful garlic chicken dish with a light-bodied white wine such as a Chardonnay or a Pinot Grigio. The wine's crispness will complement the savory and slightly sweet flavors of the dish without overpowering it.
