20 mins prepServes 2
A homemade, air-fried version of the popular Panda Express Orange Chicken, featuring marinated chicken coated in a crispy flour mix and tossed in a sweet and savory orange sauce.
1. Dice up 2 chicken breasts and marinate with 1 egg, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar.
2. After marinating for 10 minutes, coat your chicken with the flour mix (100g AP flour, 1.5 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder).
3. Spray the coated chicken with some oil and air fry for 12 minutes at 400 F. Flip halfway and spray with more oil to ensure crispiness.
4. For the sauce, add juice from 1 orange, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp ginger, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1.5 tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp cornstarch into a pan and heat up until the sauce starts to thicken. Once thick, set aside.
5. Add in your cooked chicken to the thickened sauce and mix.
6. Now its time to ENJOY!
