Instruções

Preheat the air fryer to 190C/375F.

In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Let it marinate for 5-10 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour mix until well coated.

Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray generously with oil. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange sauce. In a saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, orange marmalade, orange juice, orange zest, hot sauce, and white vinegar to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring continuously. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute or two until it thickens.

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the cooked chicken pieces to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared orange sauce over the chicken. Gently toss the chicken until completely coated.
