    Instructions

    1. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
    2. Place frozen chicken pieces in a basket in a single layer.
    3. Air fry for 13-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165º F.
    4. While chicken is cooking combine rice vinegar, cane sugar, water, red pepper flakes, soy sauce and chili garlic in a sauce pan except for 3 Tbsp water and
      cornstarch.
    5. Mix to combine and bring sauce to a simmer, allow to cook for 4-6 minutes until slightly thickened.
    6. Combine the cold water and cornstarch to create a slurry – add slurry to the simmering sauce and continue to stir to activate the cornstarch. The mixture will start to thicken up.
    7. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes and remove from heat.
    8. Allow to cool before plating.
    9. To assemble, place one piece of romaine lettuce on a plate, followed by your desired amount of sliced carrot, cucumber and cabbage. Place 1 chicken strip and top with sweet chili sauce and garnish with sliced green onions.
    10. Optional: dice chicken and toss in the sweet chili sauce before plating and then follow up with more sauce as a garnish.
    11. Serve and enjoy!
