INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your air-fryer to 400°F.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast and cut it into bite-sized pieces if desired, or leave as a fillet for a more traditional serving.
In a shallow dish, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. In another dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg white, then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the air-fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.
Air-fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
While the chicken cooks, combine the fresh orange juice and orange zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced; this will be your tangy glaze.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the orange glaze over the pieces or toss them gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful air-fryer orange chicken.
