Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb frozen popcorn chicken (or any breaded chicken tenders)
  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook the frozen chicken in an air fryer at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, or in a 425°F oven for 15–18 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  2. Combine the marmalade and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, then simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until glossy.
  3. Transfer the hot chicken to a bowl, pour the sauce over, and toss quickly to coat every piece.
  4. Plate and scatter sesame seeds and green onions on top if you’re using them. Serve immediately.

Notes

The chicken stays crunchiest if you toss it with the sauce right before serving. If you have leftovers, reheat them in an air fryer or oven to bring back some of the crisp texture.
