Method

Directions for Crispy Orange Chicken

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Breading Setup

In one bowl, place the cornstarch. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt.

Breading the Chicken

Dredge each piece of chicken first in cornstarch, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with flour.

Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Make the Sauce

In a large saucepan, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, and mandarin orange segments. Heat over medium heat until warm.

Combine Chicken and Sauce

Add the crispy chicken to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.

Garnish and Serve

Serve the crispy orange chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
