Equipment
Ingredients
Chicken.
- 1½ lbs Chicken. -- Cut into 1" pieces.
- ½ cup Cornstarch.
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water.
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper.
Sauce
- ½ cup Orange Juice.
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce.
- 3 tablespoon Honey.
- 2 tablespoon Rice Vinegar.
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil.
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Prepare. If you have not done so, cut your chicken breasts into 1" chunks. Also, prep your air fryer basket for nonstick and preheat the air fryer to 375.
- Dredge. Make a dredging station using two shallow bowls. In the first bowl use a whisk to combined together the egg and water. For the second bowl, whisk or mix with a fork the cornstarch with the salt and pepper.
- Chicken. Use a fork to dip the first piece of chicken into the first bowl, tap off the excess liquid. Dip the chicken into the second bowl, tap off the excess cornstarch, and then place the chicken into your air fryer basket. Continue with the remaining chicken until your basket is full.
- Air Fry. Air fry the chicken for five minutes and then flip the chicken over. Continue to air fryer until golden brown and cooked through (five to seven more minutes).
- Sauce While your chicken is air frying you can make your sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, use a whisk to combine together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and seasonings. Once the sauce begins to bubble you can whisk in your slurry (cornstarch and water) and then turn the heat down to low and allow the sauce to thicken, stirring or whisking as needed.
- Finish. Place the cooked chicken into a large bowl. Carefully pour about half of the sauce over the chicken and toss the ingredients. Then add the remaining sauce and toss until the chicken is well covered with sauce.
