The BEST Volcano Chicken (20 MINS)
If you've never had Volcano Chicken before, then this is your sign to make it! It's the perfect combination of crispy air fryer chicken tossed in a sweet and savoury sauce.
Servings: 3 portions
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
For The Chicken
- 100g plain flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- ½ tablespoon flaky salt
- ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 600g skinless and boneless chicken drumsticks sliced into bitesized pieces
For The Sauce
- 100 ml buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- ½ orange, juiced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper powder
Instructions
- Grab two small bowls or plates. In one, crack your egg and whisk it with a fork. In the other, combine your plain flour, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Get your bite-sized sliced raw chicken and coat in the flour mixture, then coat in the egg mixture, then coat in the dry flour mixture again. Set aside and repeat for all your chicken pieces.
- Get your air fryer compartment and lay your chicken pieces down so they don’t overlap - you may need to cook in two batches if your air fryer isn’t big enough.
- Air fry for 15 minutes at 190C or 375F. Shake half way so that the chicken pieces are evenly cooked. They should be golden and crispy after 15 minutes, but just keep an eye on them because every air fryer is different.
- Meanwhile, make your volcano sauce. Combine your buffalo sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, orange juice, garlic, and red pepper in a small bowl. Give it a good mix, taste it and adjust according to your taste preferences.
- Once your chicken is cooked, add it to a large bowl and pour over your volcano buffalo sauce. Give everything a good toss then serve up with some rice, salad, or French fries!
