Instructions For Air Fryer Orange Chicken

  1. Place the cubed chicken breast in a bowl and pour the soy sauce over it. Allow to steep for approximately fifteen minutes.
  2. Place the cubed chicken breast in a bowl and pour the soy sauce over it. Allow to steep for approximately fifteen minutes.
  3. Set the temperature of your air fryer to 380 degrees F.
  4. Mix the cornflour and breadcrumbs together and toss the chicken again.
  5. Place in a single layer inside your air fryer. Saute for 10 to 14 minutes, rotating midway. The thickness of your chicken breasts will determine how long you cook them for.
  6. Add the minced garlic to a pot with the oil and simmer while the chicken cooks. Sauté till very pale gold in colour.
  7. Bring to a gentle simmer after adding all the other ingredients, excluding the water and starch.
  8. Add the cornflour and water mixture to the pot along with the sauce and whisk to combine.
  9. Mix well and boil until thickened. Take off the heat and allow it to cool, which will aid in the thickening process.
  10. After the chicken is cooked completely, transfer it to a bowl and let it cool for a short while (be sure to chop into the largest piece).
  11. Top with half of the sauce and toss to mix. This recipe yields a large amount of sauce; I like to use around two thirds of it for the chicken and save the remainder for serving.
  12. Accompany right away with steaming broccoli, rice and enjoy it!
