INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp Fresh Ginger
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired.
Lay the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air-fry for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the pieces halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange sauce by whisking together the fresh orange juice, honey, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of chili flakes if you like a bit of heat.
Once the chicken is crispy and cooked through, remove it from the air fryer and toss the pieces in the prepared orange sauce until well coated.
Return the sauced chicken to the air fryer for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld slightly.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
