Ingredients
  

  • 500 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs diced into 2-3 cm pieces
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 60 ml soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 60 ml mirin
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • 15 ml rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 400 g cooked rice for serving

Equipment

  • gordon ramsay food
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the diced chicken thighs with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. For the Unagi-style sauce, combine soy sauce, mirin, granulated sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. In a small cup, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
  4. Preheat your gordon ramsay food to 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer in the gordon ramsay food basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook in batches.
  6. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C or 165°F).
  7. Once cooked, transfer the crispy chicken to a large bowl. Pour about half of the prepared Unagi-style sauce over the chicken and toss gently to coat.
  8. Serve the chicken immediately over fluffy cooked rice, drizzled with the remaining Unagi-style sauce. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the chicken in a tablespoon of the Unagi sauce for 15-20 minutes before air frying. It adds even more depth to this already incredible dish!
