Easy Air Fryer Lemon Chicken Recipe
You all love my Chinese Lemon Chicken so much, I thought it’s only fair to give you an air fryer version, but in bite size form. It’s so much healthier and better for you, clocking in at just under 300 calories! It’s incredibly easy to make and the perfect recipe for busy days.
Chicken: I am using chicken breast for this recipe, cut roughly into 1-inch cubes. Boneless chicken thighs work as well. Eggs: Two large eggs will be used to help the flour to stick to the chicken pieces. Sesame Oil: I prefer the toasted sesame oil, the flavor is so much better, but use whatever you got. Cornstarch and Flour: You’ll need some cornstarch to thicken our lemon sauce, and some all-purpose flour to dredge the chicken bites through. Butter: I usually use unsalted butter so I can control the intake of sodium in this recipe. Lemon: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is always best. Sugar: Regular granulated sugar works well. Use less if you prefer a less sweet lemon sauce. Broth: I like to use chicken broth for this recipe with low sodium. Green Onions: roughly chop them to garnish the final dish.
Fridge
I recommend storing lemon sauce and chicken separately if not consumed immediately, because it will get soggy. Store leftover lemon chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
Freezer
Freeze this in an airtight containers for up to 3 months! Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge before heating back up in the oven, on the stove, or on the microwave.
