How to make Air Fryer Chicken Fried Rice

Cut the chicken thighs into small chunks of equal size and place into a mixing bowl. Add the soy sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, five spice, sesame oil and coat the chicken. Set aside to marinade for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, add your pre-cooked Tilda rice (or 1 pouch of Tilda Basmati rice), diced onion, garlic, bean sprouts, and peas. Add the chicken with the marinate and mix well before putting the mixture into the non-stick pan.
Place the pan into the Air Fryer and set to 180c with a 20-minute cooking time.
When cooked, remove from the pan and serve with chopped coriander and fresh chilli slices. Add a fried egg if you want to add more richness to the dish.
