INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
2 tbsp Almond Flour
2 tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Cornstarch
4 sprays Cooking Spray (Olive Oil)
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg, almond flour, and cornstarch until smooth.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and stir to coat evenly.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray the top lightly with cooking spray.
Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and crisp.
While the chicken cooks, combine fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is done, toss the pieces in the warm orange sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of crispy texture and tangy orange flavor.
