Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken

Mix chicken thighs with soy sauce, garlic powder, five-spice powder, white pepper, sugar, egg and salt. Marinate 15 minutes.

Toss marinated chicken in sweet potato starch until every piece is coated, then shake off the excess.

Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, brush with vegetable oil, and cook at 200 C for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.

Toss with thai basil while hot so it wilts slightly.
