Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breasts cut into 1" cubes
- 1 large egg beaten with a splash of water
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
For the Orange Sauce:
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
For the Chicken:
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and set it aside.
- Place the beaten egg in a large bowl and the cornstarch in another large bowl.
- Dip the chicken, a few pieces at a time, into the egg followed by the cornstarch.
- Then, place the breaded chicken in the air fryer and cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant read thermometer.
- Allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes before saucing-- this will help prevent it from getting soggy.
For the Orange Sauce (prepare while the chicken is frying):
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to thicken until it can coat the back of a spoon- about 2 minutes of simmering. Set aside to cool for at least five minutes before adding to the chicken.
- Once the chicken and sauce have cooled slightly, add them both to a large bowl and toss to combine. Garnish with green onion, parsley, and/or sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- SKILLET COOKING METHOD:
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can easily fry these in a skillet. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken on the skillet and brown on both sides until cooked through. Prepare the sauce in a saucepan and then add the sauce to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until coated.
