Method
- Place eggs in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and garlic powder.
- Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then in the cornstarch mixture, then a second time in the cornstarch mixture again so that it is completely coated.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes to 400 degrees F.
- Brush the chicken with the vegetable oil on both sides. Cook for 5 minutes on one side flip the chicken pieces over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F degrees. Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Set aside.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine the orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic, in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture on medium low heat for 5 minutes. In a small bowl mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water to make a paste. Add this into the orange sauce and cook for 3 minutes until thickened.
- Toss the sauce and chicken together to fully coat the chicken. Serve with cooked rice.
