Instructions

Notes

This recipe was made with a 5.8qt Cosori Air Fryer. You may need to adjust the cooking time if using a different brand of air fryer. 

In the unlikely event, you have any leftovers- because this orange chicken is just that fantastic, store it in an airtight container. Orange chicken may be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. 

The best technique for reheating leftover orange chicken to its crispy state is to re-master it in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or until heated all the way through.

 Tips For Making the Perfect Air Fryer Orange Chicken

  • Do not overfill your air fryer basket. Overfilling the air fryer basket will prevent the adequate circulation of air, resulting in unevenly cooked chicken.
  • When air frying, place the chicken in a single even layer.
