Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic orange chicken featuring tender chicken breast encrusted in a light panko and almond flour coating, crisped in the air fryer to perfection. Finished with a tangy, freshly-made orange glaze accented with garlic and ginger, this dish balances savory crunch with a burst of citrus brightness in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips or nuggets for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and almond flour.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg white, then dredge evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a light coating on all sides.
Lightly spray the coated chicken with sesame oil to enhance crispiness.
Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is air frying, prepare the orange sauce by combining orange juice, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a serving plate and lightly drizzle the warm orange sauce over the top.
Garnish with additional fresh grated ginger or chopped scallions if desired, and serve immediately.
