Notes
- Prep Ahead: Dice the chicken, mix the coatings, and prepare the orange sauce in advance. This will save you time when cooking.
- Even Coating: Make sure each chicken piece is fully coated in wet and dry mixtures to get the crispiest results. Gluten free flour can be used as a dry coating.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer to ensure even cooking. If needed, cook in batches.
- Reheat with Care: To reheat leftovers, pop the chicken in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture.
- Flavor: You can always adjust the flavor. For a hint of spice, add red pepper flakes. Sweetness can be adjusted with brown sugar substitutes.
- Orange sauce: add a bit of extra orange juice for a milder flavor or if your sauce is too thick.
