Crispy Air-Fried Orange Chicken
Enjoy a delightful twist on a classic takeout favorite with this crispy air-fried orange chicken. Tender chicken breast is lightly coated in a crunchy panko crust and then air-fried to golden perfection. A vibrant, tangy orange glaze made with fresh-squeezed orange juice, garlic, ginger, and a splash of low-sodium soy sauce ties the dish together with a burst of citrus flavor and a hint of warmth.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Orange Zest
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and, if necessary, pound it to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white thoroughly. In a separate bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Lightly season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper (optional) and dip it first into the egg white, then coat evenly in the panko breadcrumbs.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with a bit of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the breaded chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air-fry for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
While the chicken is air-frying, prepare the orange glaze by combining the fresh orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, olive oil, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Simmer on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is crispy and cooked through, remove it from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.
Drizzle the warm orange glaze over the chicken or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Garnish with extra orange zest if desired and enjoy.
