INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 tbsp Honey
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Olive Oil (for spraying)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
In a bowl, combine the egg white and a pinch of salt. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken and toss to evenly coat.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer.
Air-fry the chicken for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring frequently.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle the orange sauce over it. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, tangy flavors of your homemade orange chicken.
