Crispy Air-Fryer Orange Chicken
Enjoy this tangy twist on a classic dish with a crispy, air-fried chicken coated in a light panko crust and tossed in a zesty orange sauce. The harmony of sweet citrus notes blended with garlic and ginger elevates the tender chicken, making it a perfect choice for a balanced, protein-rich meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 tablespoons Panko Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1 large Egg White
1/3 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
1 clove Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Honey
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
PREPARATION
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white. In another small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and cornstarch.
Dip the chicken breast first into the egg white and then dredge it generously in the panko mixture to coat evenly.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the coated chicken with a bit of cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until the coating is crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the orange sauce by combining fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, minced ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, and honey in a small saucepan.
Simmer the sauce over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring frequently.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a plate and drizzle the warm orange sauce over the crispy chicken.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve immediately.
