Orange chicken is a unique chicken recipe that combines chicken with our favorite citrus fruit. It is made by covering the fried chicken with a delicious orange sauce. It is delicious and easy to make.
In a medium pot, add orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red chilies. Bring them to a boil and cook them for about 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, add some cornstarch and water to form a paste. Add orange juice to it and mix them. Add this to the pot. Cook it for about 5 minutes until it gets thicker. Once thick, remove the heat and keep it aside.
To Make The Chicken
Add some flour and cornstarch to a dish or plate. Season some salt and stir it well.
In another dish or plate, whisk the eggs and keep them aside.
Now, take the chicken pieces, dip them in the egg mixture, and then coat it with the flour mixture.
Heat some oil in a skillet with medium-high heat. Keep a note of the temperature.
After the oil is hot enough, place the chicken pieces in it gently. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Place these chicken pieces on a tissue or soaking towel and remove the excessive oil. Fry all the chicken batches and repeat them.
Toss the fried chicken in the sauce. Stir them so they get coated well and garnish with some green onions and orange zest.
