Instructions

1. Pat the chicken dry, season both sides with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, then toss with ¼ cup Toom garlic spread until well coated. Let it marinate for a few minutes.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine ½ cup flour, panko, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and mix well.
3. In another shallow bowl, whisk the remaining ½ cup flour with ½ cup sparkling water until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable, like pancake batter.
4. Dip each chicken strip in the sparkling water batter and let the excess drip off, then roll it in the flour and panko mixture, pressing lightly so it sticks.
5. Place the strips in an air fryer basket without touching, spray with cooking spray, and air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, combine ¼ cup honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar in a pan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water slurry and cook for about 1-2 minutes until thickened. Add 1 tablespoon harissa here if using.
7. Toss the cooked chicken in the warm sauce just before serving, and serve with extra Toom for dipping.
