Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water (to thicken sauce)
- Cooking oil for frying
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Start off by prepping your chicken. In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, beat the egg.
- Dip each chicken piece first in the egg, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat up about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once your sauce is heated, mix in the cornstarch slurry to thicken it up a bit. Stir until it’s well combined and starts to bubble.
- Now, toss your fried chicken pieces into the sauce, making sure they are well coated.
- Plate your delicious Orange Chicken, drizzle some extra sauce on top, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve it up with some steamed rice or your favorite side dish, and get ready to dig in!
And there you have it! Your very own Restaurant Style Asian Orange Chicken that’s bursting with flavor and guaranteed to satisfy. Enjoy, fam!
