Orange Chicken Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

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

2. 2

   Prepare the Battering Mixture

   In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken piece first in the egg, then coat with the flour-cornstarch mixture.

3. 3

   Fry the Chicken

   In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered chicken pieces. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Make the Orange Sauce

   In a saucepan, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

5. 5

   Thicken the Sauce

   In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Once the sauce is simmering, slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Combine Chicken and Sauce

   Add the fried chicken pieces to the saucepan with the orange sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated in the sauce.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Serve the orange chicken hot, garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy!
