Enjoy a tangy and crispy twist on classic orange chicken in this air fryer recipe. Tender chicken breast is coated in a light, crunchy almond flour and cornstarch batter, then flash-cooked in the air fryer until perfectly golden. Finished with a zesty orange glaze infused with fresh garlic and ginger, this dish offers a satisfying balance of protein and flavor suitable for a hearty meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1 large Egg White
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Ginger, grated
1 tbsp Scallions, chopped (garnish)
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour and cornstarch. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
Dip each chicken piece first in the egg white, then dredge thoroughly in the almond flour and cornstarch mixture to coat evenly.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer and lightly spray with cooking oil if desired.
Air fry the chicken for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange glaze by combining the fresh orange juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced and aromatic.
Once the chicken is crispy and cooked through, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle the warm orange glaze over the top.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately for a delicious, tangy, and crispy meal.
