1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Chinese 5 spice
1/2 tsp paprika
1 onion
1 garlic clove
1 red chilli
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 tbsp olive oil or spray oil

INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Add the diced chicken to a bowl and cover with the milk. Stir and put to one side.
STEP 2
Add the cornflour to another bowl and mix in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, Chinese 5 spice and paprika.
STEP 3
In three batches, remove the chicken from the bowl with a spoon, draining off any excess milk. Add to the bowl with the cornflour spice mix and coat the chicken pieces completely. Transfer to a plate.
STEP 4
Repeat the process with the other two batches of chicken.
STEP 5
Chop the onion, garlic, chilli and pepper and add them to the Actifry, along with the chicken.
STEP 6
Drizzle in one ActiFry spoon of olive oil or spray on some spray oil.
STEP 7
Close the lid and set it to Mode 3 (Breaded Snacks) for 20 minutes.
STEP 8
When the 20 minutes is up open the lid and test the chicken. If you prefer it a little crispier then cook for another 2-3 minutes. You can also add some salt and pepper too.
STEP 9
When ready, remove, garnish with chopped spring onions and serve immediately with sides of your choice – boiled rice, noodles and wok fried greens all work really well with this dish.
