AIR FRYER ORANGE CHICKEN

Air Fryer Orange Chicken image

Dinner in less than half an hour? Yes! Once you have the chicken in the air fryer, this dish comes together quickly. We like it over cooked riced cauliflower or cooked rice, with a side of steamed broccoli. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds if desired.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup arrowroot powder
1 medium orange, zested and juiced
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

Preheat a 5.3-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) if recommended by manufacturer. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Place chicken in a mixing bowl. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the arrowroot powder in a small bowl and set aside for later. Sprinkle remaining arrowroot powder over chicken and toss until evenly coated. Spray lightly with cooking spray and place in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket.
Air-fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Stir, and air-fry for 4 more minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, combine orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, fish sauce, and Sriracha in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil.
Add water to the reserved arrowroot powder and stir until there are no lumps. Slowly pour into the saucepan, stirring rapidly to avoid lumps. When the mixture thickens, remove from the heat.
Remove chicken from the air fryer and combine with sauce.
