Ingredients
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 oranges
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ⅓ cup rice wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Chicken Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 ½ cups cornstarch
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Spray oil
- 2 scallions chopped
Instructions
Sauce
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Using vegetable peeler, remove eight 2-inch strips of zest from 1 orange. Using rasp-style grater, grate 1½ teaspoons zest from the remaining orange. Halve both oranges and squeeze to get ¾ cup juice. Combine orange zest (strips and grated) and juice, broth, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, sriracha, and oil in a medium saucepan and whisk to dissolve cornstarch.
- Bring sauce to simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook until dark brown and thickened, about 5 minutes. Cover and set aside.
Chicken
- Get out ingredients for chicken.
- Combine chicken, egg whites, and salt in bowl.
- Place cornstarch, flour, and baking powder in a resealable bag, shake gently to combine.
- Add chicken mixture to cornstarch mixture in the bag.
- Slide the top of the bag to seal, and shake vigorously to thoroughly coat chicken; set aside.
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Spray the basket or tray of your air fryer with oil.
- Fill your basket or tray with a single layer of the chicken. Making sure to shake the excess cornstarch off before adding each piece to the basket/tray. I usually dump chicken out of bag to allow each piece of chicken to be shaken and excess cornstarch removed.
- Spray the chicken with oil, then place in the preheated air fryer.
- Cook the chicken for 6 minutes, then flip all of the pieces over, spray with oil, then place back in the air fryer for another 5-6 minutes.
- Chicken is done when it has an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Repeat steps 6-10 until all of the chicken has been cooked.
- Toss sauce and chicken in a large bowl.
- Stir until chicken is evenly coated.
- Serve, garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
- Enjoy every bite!
