Description

Enjoy a healthier take on orange chicken with this air fryer recipe that blends sweet and savory flavors.


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
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken pieces into the marinade and coat well. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. 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.
