½ tsp five spice powder - ½ tsp white pepper - ½ tsp salt - ½ tsp sugar - ½ tsp msg

To a small mixing bowl, add sweet potato starch. Coat each piece of chicken well on all sides, then sprinkle a droplets of water into the sweet potato starch to create small beads-this will create crispy bits on the chicken! Preheat airfryer at 400F.

1 cup sweet potato starch or sub with potato starch or tapioca starch

Arrange the chicken in the air fryer basket, making sure they have space on all sides and do not touch.

Thoroughly spray the chicken and airfry for 5 mins, then flip, spray, and airfry for another 5.

Add the Thai basil leaves into the air fryer with the chicken, and spray with cooking oil spray. Air fry for 5 more minutes or until brown and crispy.

Once done, add your cooked chicken and thai basil leaves to a bowl and toss on the seasoning mix.

Serve and enjoy!
