Mix the cornflour, salt, pepper and Chinese five spice together in a large bowl.

Add the chicken and toss together to thoroughly coat each piece.

Arrange in the the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to work in two batches if you're air fryer basket is too small).

Squirt the chicken with spray oil then air fry at 200C/400F for 20 minutes, shaking twice during cooking. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and place in a bowl.

Add the onion, garlic salt and black pepper to the air fryer basket and toss together. Spray with spray oil and air fry for 5 minutes at 200C/400F .

Add the chopped chillies, toss and air fry for a further 2 minutes. Then add the springs onions and the chicken. Toss together and fry for a further 1-2 minutes, until the chicken is hot.
