Air Fryer Orange Chicken
Shatter-crisp, real-orange glaze, no deep fryer. 48g protein.
An egg-white and cornstarch coat goes shatter-crisp in the air fryer without a pot of oil. The sauce is fresh orange juice and zest reduced with honey, soy, ginger and garlic until it clings like the takeout version, only brighter and less candy-sweet.
