Crispy air-fried breaded chicken is coated in a sticky, sweet-and-salty orange sauce with tender broccoli. The sauce gets its citrus brightness from orange juice and fresh orange zest, with ginger, soy, and a little heat.

Ingredients

Lightly breaded chicken breast chunks (Amount described only as “that much”; air-fry until crispy and browned. Use a package-sized amount to suit your skillet.)
1.5 cup Orange juice (The creator says to eyeball the amount; approximately 1½ cups.)
Ginger (A healthy squirt; ginger paste or prepared ginger is implied, but the exact product and amount are unspecified.)
0.25 cup Mirin (Approximately; the creator says “something like that.”)
0.25 cup Soy sauce (Approximately; the creator says to use as much as the family likes.)
Garlic (A “metric ton,” then “two metric tons”; no usable quantity stated.)
1.5 tbsp Brown sugar (A heaping 1–2 tablespoons; use enough to make the sauce sweet. The stated range is represented by its midpoint.)
Chili powder (A little, for mild heat and smokiness; no amount specified. Chili flakes are suggested as an alternative for more heat.)
Cornstarch (A small amount for the slurry; the amount is left to judgment.)
Water (Enough to make a cornstarch slurry; orange juice may be used instead.)
1 bag Broccoli florets (One bag, raw; frozen broccoli may be microwaved and added with the chicken instead.)
Sesame oil (A small drizzle to finish; no amount specified.)
1 Orange (Zest over the finished chicken; the amount of zest is not specified.)
White rice (For serving; amount and cooking instructions are not stated.)

Steps

1
Place the breaded chicken breast chunks in an air fryer and cook until fully crispy and browned. The source does not specify a temperature, time, or quantity of chicken.
2
In a large skillet, combine the orange juice, ginger, mirin, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and chili powder. Stir well.
3
Bring the sauce to a boil and let it boil down until combined and ready to thicken. No duration is given.
4
In a small container, mix the cornstarch with water (or additional orange juice) to make a slurry. The source leaves the amounts to judgment.
5
Pour the slurry into the boiling sauce while whisking vigorously, and continue until the sauce thickens.
6
Add the raw broccoli florets to the thickened sauce. Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam in the sauce for a few minutes.
7
Add the crispy chicken to the skillet. Drizzle in a small amount of sesame oil and stir to combine.
8
Zest an orange over the chicken and stir. If the broccoli needs more time, cover the skillet again until it is ready.
9
Serve the orange chicken and broccoli over white rice. The source does not give directions for cooking the rice.

Notes

The source gives no exact chicken quantity, air-fryer temperature or time, specific amounts for several sauce ingredients, or rice-cooking method. Frozen broccoli can be microwaved and added with the chicken. For more heat, the creator suggests chili flakes instead of chili powder; honey or maple syrup may replace the brown sugar.
