1. Place the chicken on a large plate and sprinkle with salt, tossing to coat the chicken. Arrange in a single layer and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
2. Pre-heat air fryer to 400°F.
3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cornstarch over the chicken and stir to coat. Sprinkle another tablespoon of cornstarch over the chicken and stir again.
4. Add the chicken to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook until chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center when you cut into them, 7-9 minutes.
5. While the chicken is cooking, measure the remaining 2 teaspoons of cornstarch into a microwave-safe 1 cup measuring cup. Add 1/4 cup of the orange juice and stir until smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of orange juice, along with the soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger.
6. Microwave orange mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Cook for another 30 seconds. Stir. Stir the honey into the juice mixture.
7. You do not want the orange-honey sauce to boil over in the microwave, so watch carefully while you microwave it for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between each interval, until sauce is really frothy. Stir. Sauce should be thick and shiny.
8. Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving dish. Stir in the hot orange sauce until chicken is evenly coated.
