Get sticky with it! There’s no resisting the gleaming glaze on these chicken breasts—certified organic, so they’re better for you and the environment. A swirl of honey-sweetened ponzu and garlic bronzes the surface beautifully thanks to a turn in the Air Fryer, using less oil and less cleanup than traditional frying techniques. Serve them over fragrant jasmine rice along with a super-crunchy slaw that tosses together apple matchsticks, celery and scallions. This is one meal where finger licking is strongly encouraged.

Preparation
Cook the rice
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket. Place the honey pouches in a small bowl of hot water to soften. In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Make the sauce & fry the chicken
Meanwhile, mince the garlic. In a small bowl, microwave the garlic, ponzu and ¾ of the honey, 30 sec., until warmed through. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with the spices. Place in the air fryer basket and brush with ⅓ of the sauce. Fry, flipping and brushing with the remaining sauce twice, 13 to 15 min., until cooked through and glazed.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Thinly slice the celery crosswise on an angle. Core and cut the apple into matchsticks (or core and thinly slice).
Make the slaw
In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, white bottoms of the scallions, remaining honey and 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Add the apple, celery and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice, chicken and slaw between your plates. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions. Bon appétit!
