Report
Delicious, easy orange chicken that tastes like takeout but healthier than deep-fried!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- cooking spray
- sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Place the flour in a separate bowl. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, shaking off any excess. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap. You may need to cook the chicken in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Spray the top of the chicken pieces with cooking spray to help them crisp up. Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, orange zest, rice vinegar, cornstarch, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and set aside.
- Pour the orange sauce mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken to the saucepan and toss until the chicken is well coated with the orange sauce.
- Transfer the coated chicken back to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to further caramelize.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and garnish with sliced green onions.
- Serve the Air Fryer Orange Chicken over steamed rice and enjoy!
