Air Fryer Orange Chicken

Step 1

Add your cubed chicken breast to a bowl and toss with the soy sauce. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 3

Toss the chicken with the cornstarch, then toss with the breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add to your air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 10-14 minutes, tossing halfway. How long you need to cook it for just depends on how thick your chicken breasts were.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, add the minced garlic to a pot with the oil. Saute until lightly golden brown.

Step 6

Add all remaining ingredients aside from the water and starch and bring to a low simmer.

Step 7

Whisk together the cornstarch and water and add to the pot with the sauce.

Step 8

Whisk together and let simmer until thick. Remove from the heat and let cool which will help it thicken further.

Step 9

When the chicken is done (be sure to cut into the largest piece to ensure it is cooked all the way through) add to a bowl and cool for just a couple of minutes.

Step 10

Pour half of the sauce on top and toss to combine. This recipe makes quite a bit of sauce, I like to add probably 2/3 of it to the chicken, then reserve the rest for serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately with steamed broccoli, rice or enjoy as is!
