📝 Ingredients

• 1 lbs chicken breast fillets ((500 g))
• 1 tbsp cornstarch / cornflour
• 1/2 cup orange juice ((120 ml - preferably freshly squeezed))
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp cornstarch / cornflour
• 1 orange ((zest only))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Dice chicken breast fillets into bite sized pieces. Toss them in 1 tbsp cornflour until they are coated in a very thin layer.
2. 2Air fry the chicken pieces at 180 °C / 360 °F for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken pieces have cooked through completely.
3. 3Meanwhile, prepare the orange sauce by combining orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar and honey in a small sauce pan or pot. Bring it to a simmer on medium heat, and leave it to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
4. 4Combine 1 tbsp cornflour with 1-2 tbsp of the warm orange sauce in a small bowl, and stir until you have creted a lump free mixture. Then, add this to the sauce pan. Stir as the cornflour allows the sauce to thicken up to a sticky glaze. Remove the sauce from the heat.
5. 5Pour the orange glaze over the air fried chicken pieces, and stir to coat evenly. Serve the warm orange chicken immediately with your favorite side dishes.
