This air fryer honey garlic chicken recipe makes a delicious Chinese style chicken! I love air fryer chicken breast recipes that closely simulate fried chicken and this one is perfect if you are avoiding fried foods but are really craving Chinese food! Serve with white rice, fried rice or chow mein noodles and eggrolls if you like!
