INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
3 Tbsp Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 large Egg
3 Tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
4 sprays Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces or strips for even cooking.
In a bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the egg. In another dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and cornstarch.
Dip each chicken piece first into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the basket. Use remaining cooking spray to lightly mist the chicken for extra crispiness.
Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is golden and crispy.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tangy, crispy orange chicken.
