INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~140g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (~30g)
3 Egg Whites (~99g)
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice (~60g)
1 tsp Cornstarch (~2g)
1 Clove Garlic (~3g)
1 tsp Grated Fresh Ginger (~2g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and slice it into bite-sized strips for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg whites, ensuring they are fully coated, then dredge in the seasoned panko, pressing lightly for the crumbs to adhere.
Place the coated chicken strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with a cooking spray if desired.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the orange sauce in a small saucepan: Combine fresh orange juice, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk well over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, toss it gently in the warm orange sauce until each piece is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, crispy air-fried orange chicken!
