2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tbsp soy sauce (use low-sodium for keto swap)
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Preheat your air fryer or oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and garlic powder.
Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket or a cast-iron skillet, leaving some space between each piece.
Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef Sofia Rossi’s Crisping & Macro Notes

For maximum crispiness, make sure the chicken is at room temperature before cooking. For flavor layering, don't skip the marinating step! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
