## Ingredients

- 640 g boneless skinless Chicken Thighs, diced into large bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp Groundnut Oil
- 0.75 tsp Fine/Table Salt
- 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
- 0.5 tsp Ginger Powder
- 0.25 tsp White Pepper
- 50 g Cornflour/Cornstarch
- 1 Oil Spray
- 110 g Light Brown Sugar
- 60 ml Double/Heavy Cream, at room temp
- 45 g Unsalted Butter, diced into small cubes and left at room temp
- 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
- 0.125 tsp Fine/Table Salt
- 1 Flaky Sea Salt
- 1 Sesame Seeds
- 1 Spring Onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 Red Chilli, very thinly sliced

## Instructions

1. Add the diced chicken to a large mixing bowl and coat in the oil and seasoning. Add the cornflour and toss until the chicken is fully coated.
2. Air Fry (option 1): Lightly spray the base of the air fryer with oil. Spread the chicken out and lightly spray with oil. Cook at 200C/400F for 12 minutes, or until light golden, crisp and piping hot through the centre.
3. Pan Fry (option 2): Add 4 tbsp oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot enough, spread out the chicken and fry each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden, crisp and piping hot through the centre. Place the chicken on a wire rack when done, then discard any excess oil and wipe out the pan.
4. For the sauce, add the sugar, butter, cream and soy sauce to a pan over low heat. Use a spatula to stir until everything is combined, with the sugar dissolved and butter melted. Increase the heat slightly and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently for around 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and starts turning syrupy.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the chicken until fully coated, then serve with sesame seeds and flaky sea salt.
