Crispy Air-Fryer Orange Chicken
Enjoy a vibrant twist on your favorite takeout with this crispy air-fryer orange chicken. Tender pieces of chicken breast are coated in a light almond flour crunch, then tossed in a zesty orange sauce accented with a hint of sesame for extra flavor. This dish perfectly balances protein and healthy fats for a delightfully crispy yet refreshingly light meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
20 g Almond Flour
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt, pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken pieces in the almond flour until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air-fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking until the chicken is golden and crispy.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange sauce by combining the fresh orange juice and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld for about 3-4 minutes. (Optional: a light drizzle of honey can be added if you prefer a sweeter sauce.)
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a mixing bowl and drizzle the warm orange sauce over the crispy pieces. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tangy, crispy air-fryer orange chicken!
