INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Half a medium Orange (for juice)
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 spray Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg white and cornstarch until smooth. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
Toss the chicken pieces in the egg white-cornstarch mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is crispy and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed juice from half an orange, orange zest, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened to form a light glaze.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and immediately toss with the warm orange glaze until evenly coated.
Plate the crispy orange chicken and garnish with additional orange zest or thinly sliced green onions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
