Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 3 cups Cornstarch
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 0.75 cups Sugar
• 0.25 cups Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (for sauce)
• 3 tablespoons Water (for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the cornstarch, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.

Step 3

Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then coat it in the cornstarch-flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken pieces are coated.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5

In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the orange juice, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red chili flakes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a small bowl, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water. Gradually add the slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7

In a large bowl or serving dish, toss the fried chicken pieces in the orange sauce until fully coated.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
