Crispy Air Fryer Orange Chicken
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic orange chicken with a light, crispy coating that's achieved in the air fryer. Tender chicken pieces are coated with a delicate dusting of cornstarch and seasoned with salt and pepper before being air fried to perfection. A homemade orange sauce, bursting with the fresh flavors of citrus, ginger, and garlic, is lightly tossed with the chicken and finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a satisfying meal that is both delicious and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Honey
1 tbsp Cornstarch
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cooking Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly toss in a bowl with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Place the chicken pieces in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is golden and crispy.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and let it reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens a bit.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a mixing bowl and toss with the warm orange sauce until well coated.
Plate the orange chicken, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
