Orange chicken recipe
Orange chicken recipe
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (from about one orange)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, grated or minced
1 teaspoon grated or minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon + 1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs
Canola or vegetable oil for frying
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper

Cut the chicken breast tenders into 1 1/2 inch pieces and set in the refrigerator while you make the glaze.
To make the glaze, combine the chicken broth, orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
While that’s heating up, make a slurry by combining the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. Once glaze comes to a boil, add slurry and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes so the glaze thickens. Set aside.
Heat up 2 inches of oil in a large heavy bottomed pot to 350ºF.
While that’s heating up, beat the eggs in a shallow dish and combine the 1 cup cornstarch in another shallow dish with some salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken in the eggs, then the cornstarch, pressing to coat the whole surface with the cornstarch.
Slowly place the chicken in the hot oil and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Place the chicken on a plate lined with paper towels or a brown paper bag to drain off any excess oil. Cook the chicken in three batches.
Once all the chicken has cooked, reheat the glaze and toss the chicken in it. Serve immediately over rice with green onions and sesame seeds.
