INGREDIENTS

For the Chicken

1 ½ lb (675g) chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
4 tbsp cornstarch (cornflour)

For the Sauce

2 tsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp fresh ginger grated
cup (250ml) orange juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp orange zest (optional)
¼ cup (85g) honey or maple syrup
4 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp sriracha or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Marinate Chicken

1. Cut the chicken into even-sized smallish cubes, trimming any fat. Place in a bowl and add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, oil, baking soda and red pepper flakes. Mix well to coat the chicken then add the cornstarch and toss again. Set aside to marinate while you make the sauce.

Make the Orange Sauce

1. Heat a little oil in a saucepan and quickly fry the garlic and ginger. Add the orange zest, juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes and sriracha. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat.

2. Dilute the cornstarch in a little cold water to make a slurry. Stir into the sauce and simmer until it thickens . Take off the heat and set aside. The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance – store in a jar in the fridge.

Cook the Chicken

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spaced slightly apart. Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice during that time.

2. Drizzle about half of the sauce onto the chicken and air fry for 2 more minutes, or until the chicken is slightly caramelized at the edges.

3. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve over coconut rice with the extra orange sauce on the side!
