INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Orange
1 tbsp Cornstarch
2 large Egg Whites
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
2 stalks Scallions (chopped)
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch, minced ginger, and garlic.
Dip the chicken pieces first into the egg white, then coat them evenly with the cornstarch mixture.
Arrange the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray with sesame oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Air-fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, segment the orange by cutting off the peel and removing the white pith. Reserve the juice for a light drizzle if desired.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving dish and toss gently with fresh orange segments and chopped scallions.
Serve immediately, optionally drizzled with a bit of the reserved orange juice for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
