Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces into the marinade and coat well. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss the marinated chicken in vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Place evenly in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for doneness, ensuring the chicken is cooked through with a crispy exterior. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate longer for enhanced flavor; air fry in batches to maintain crispiness.
