Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer at 400 degrees.
- Place the Trader Joe’s orange chicken pieces in the basket, in a single layer, leaving little space between the nuggets.
- Cook your nuggets for 8 minutes, shaking the basket at the 5-minute mark to flip them over.
- While the nuggets are cooking, heat a bowl of water in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and then place the frozen sauce packet in the hot water.
- Once the nuggets are cooked to 165 degrees internally, transfer them to a bowl and drizzle the sauce over them. Use a spoon to toss them, making sure they are all covered.
Serve over jasmine rice (optional) and garnish as desired.
Notes
How to Reheat Trader Joe’s Orange Chicken in the Air Fryer:
1. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees.
2. Place your leftover sauced orange chicken in the air fryer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed thoroughly. I recommend using a silicone parchment round or air fryer pan for easy clean-up.
