Air Fryer Orange Chicken

Chef Andy Kao—the executive chef of the Panda Express chain—is credited with inventing this popular Chinese American dish in 1987. Typically deep- or pan-fried in oil, Air Fryer Orange Chicken saves a ton of calories and fat. Of course, this dish is perfect over rice or whole grains, but if you are looking for a low-carb side, serve this over simple air-fried vegetables, letting them soak up the extra sauce in place of grains.

 

Orange chicken takes just 10 minutes in the air fryer, which allows the meat to cook through and the cornstarch coating to crisp up.
