Preparation:
- Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder. In another bowl, beat the egg. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Make the Orange Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. If you like some heat, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the fried chicken pieces to the saucepan with the orange sauce, tossing to coat the chicken evenly.
- Serve: Serve the orange chicken over steamed rice or with stir-fried vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Tips:
- For a healthier version, you can bake the chicken instead of frying it. Simply coat the chicken as directed and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- You can adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the sauce by adding more sugar or orange juice to taste.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli to the dish for added nutrition.
Enjoy your homemade orange chicken! It’s a flavorful and satisfying dish that’s sure to be a hit!
