For extra crispy chicken, ensure the pieces are evenly spaced in the air fryer basket and not overcrowded. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preference for spiciness. Serve over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.

01
StepPreheat a 5.3-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) if recommended by the manufacturer. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
02
StepPlace chicken in a mixing bowl. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the arrowroot powder in a small bowl and set aside for later. Sprinkle remaining arrowroot powder over chicken and toss until evenly coated. Spray lightly with cooking spray and place in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket. (5 minutes)
03
StepAir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Stir, and air-fry for 4 more minutes. (12 minutes)

StepWhile the chicken is cooking, combine orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, fish sauce, and Sriracha in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. (8 minutes)
05
StepAdd water to the reserved arrowroot powder and stir until there are no lumps. Slowly pour into the saucepan, stirring rapidly to avoid lumps. When the mixture thickens, remove from the heat. (3 minutes)
