Savor a delightfully tangy twist on a classic with this Crispy Air-Fried Orange Chicken.

A homemade orange sauce, infused with fresh juice and zest, elevates the dish with bright, citrusy flavors, making each bite a perfect balance of crispy and juicy sensations.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~142g)
1 large Egg White (~33g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (~14g)
1/3 cup Fresh Orange Juice (~80g)
1 tsp Honey (~7g)
Zest of 1 Orange (~2g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cooking Spray
2 tbsp Green Onions (chopped)
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. In another bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg white, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
Lightly spray the chicken pieces with cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until the exterior is golden and crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine fresh orange juice, honey, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and allow it to reduce slightly to form a light sauce.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle the warm orange sauce over the top. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
