INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (140g)
1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 medium Orange (70g)
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Black Pepper (pinch each)
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Dredge the seasoned chicken breast in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. For extra crunch, lightly press the breadcrumbs onto the surface.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken breast in the basket in a single layer.
Air-fry the chicken for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange glaze by extracting the juice from 1/2 medium orange. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice with 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and allow the mixture to reduce slightly, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and drizzle the warm orange glaze over the top. Optionally, garnish with a few extra slices of orange or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp, tangy, and flavorful Orange Chicken.
