A quick and delicious recipe for crispy orange chicken coated in a sweet and tangy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Oil for frying
  • Green onions for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Flavorful Sauce: In a bowl, mix together orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and ginger to create a fragrant sauce that will elevate your chicken dish.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. This step is crucial for achieving that irresistible crispy texture on your chicken.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the diced chicken to the hot oil, frying until golden brown and cooked through. This usually takes about 6-8 minutes, and you want that beautiful, crispy exterior!
  4. Heat the Sauce: In another pan, keep that mouthwatering sauce mixture warm as you prepare to bring everything together.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry, then add it to the heated sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, creating the perfect glaze for your chicken.
  6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the thickened sauce over the fried chicken, tossing gently to coat every piece in that lovely orange goodness.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Dish out the chicken onto plates and garnish with slices of green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for that final touch before serving.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in the sauce for extra flavor. Adjust the sweetness by modifying the sugar amount. Serve immediately for the best texture.
