Instructions

Step 1: Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: In one bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. In another bowl, place the all-purpose flour. Dredge the chicken pieces in flour, dip them in the eggs, and then coat them again with flour.

Step 3: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Arrange the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Step 5: While the chicken is cooking, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 6: After the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes, remove it from the air fryer and toss it in the orange sauce until well coated. Return the chicken to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
