In the summer, I love making dinner without turning on my oven — and if I can use my air fryer, even better.While searching for easy meals to add to my dinner rotation, I looked up some of the most popular air-fryer recipes on Pinterest. I found myself drawn to the No. 1 pick from The Kitchn's list at the time of writing: orange chicken. So, I pulled up the gluten-free version of this list-topping dish and followed a recipe from the food blog Lite Cravings.Luckily, it turned out even better than expected and gave classic orange-chicken takeout a run for its money. All of the ingredients were easy to find

I found everything I needed for this air-fryer recipe in my pantry and at my local grocery store.
