Crispy Baked Orange Chicken
Enjoy a tangy twist on classic crispy chicken with a vibrant orange glaze. This baked version offers a satisfying crunch with a burst of citrus flavor, enhanced by aromatic garlic and ginger, perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1/3 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, minced
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Cornstarch
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces or strips, ensuring even thickness for uniform baking.
In a shallow bowl, toss the chicken pieces with a light coating of orange zest, salt if desired, and a drizzle of soy sauce.
Lightly coat the chicken pieces in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the orange glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, remaining soy sauce, and cornstarch. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens into a glaze, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warm orange glaze over the crispy pieces.
Toss gently to coat evenly and serve immediately.
