Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 pound chicken cut into 1-inch pieces, 450g
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour 42g
- 1 egg large beaten
- 2 cups snap pea or other veggie, for serving, 240g
For the Orange Sauce
- ½ cup orange juice 120ml
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 50g
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic grated
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional and to taste
Instructions
- Place the chicken in the beaten egg and then into the flour. Then put the chicken pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through until golden brown and fully cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Once the chicken is done, add it to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, and serve with steamed snap peas and white rice.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice. It gives the best flavor. Bottled juice works too.
- Ensure all chicken pieces are about the same size for even cooking.
- Dry the chicken pieces with a paper towel before coating them with the egg and flour to help the coating stick better.
- Make sure the air fryer is fully preheated before placing them in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C before serving.
- Let the sauce sit for a few minutes after cooking to thicken slightly before adding to the chicken.
- Store - Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days
- There are 5 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
