Air Fryer Orange Chicken
This air fryer orange chicken can be made in just 15 minutes - it's the perfect dinner for a hectic weeknight! Made with sweet orange marmalade, tangy BBQ sauce, and more, it's packed with flavors that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 2 pound bag frozen, fully cooked chicken nuggets/strips
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha, to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Follow the air fryer directions on the bag of chicken nuggets/strips.
- While the chicken is cooking, make sauce. In a medium microwave safe bowl add marmalade, bbq sauce, sriracha and soy sauce and mix well. Taste test the sauce to see if you would like extra sriracha for heat.
- Heat in microwave for 1 minute, stir well and heat for an additional minute.
- Remove from microwave and add cooked chicken to sauce and toss to fully coat the chicken in sauce. Serve immediately, as desired, with rice!
Notes
- To store. Keep leftover orange chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. (It is best served fresh, though!)
- To reheat. You can reheat leftovers by adding the chicken back into the air fryer for about 3-4 minutes. You can even microwave the chicken if you don’t mind the fact that it won't be as crispy.
