Crispy Air-Fried Orange Chicken
Enjoy a bright twist on a classic takeout favorite with this Crispy Air-Fried Orange Chicken. Tender, lean chicken breast is lightly breaded with panko and egg white, then air-fried to a crisp finish. It's tossed in a tangy, naturally sweet orange sauce with a hint of garlic and soy, creating a balanced dish that's both satisfying and refreshingly light.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white. In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder and orange zest.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg white, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the breaded chicken in a single layer in the basket.
Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating turns golden and crispy.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, low sodium soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch. Whisk well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a serving plate and drizzle the warm orange sauce over the top or toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, crispy orange chicken.
