Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before cooking so they don't burn.
- Boil the vinegar, water and sugar in a saucepan. Take off the heat, pour over the carrot and cucumber in a jar, cover, and refrigerate until cold.
- Put the rice, water, salt and any aromatics in a saucepan over high heat, stir to stop clumps, and bring to a boil. Cover, drop the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, keep the lid on for 4 minutes, then remove the aromatics and fluff with a fork.
- Mix all the bang bang sauce ingredients in a bowl, then split into two bowls and set one aside for serving, not for the chicken.
- Combine the chicken with the seasoning ingredients, thread onto the soaked skewers, and brush with half the sauce from the mixing bowl.
- Air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 8 minutes. Take out the chicken, brush with the rest of the sauce, and air fry for 6 to 8 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
