Description

A delightful blend of crunchy chicken and vibrant orange sauce, perfect for family gatherings or a comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder


Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, making them manageable for frying.
  2. Set up your breading station with flour mixed with a pinch of salt in one bowl and beaten eggs in another.
  3. Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off before thoroughly coating with flour.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ideally around 350°F.
  5. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and ginger powder. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Toss the fried chicken with the orange sauce until well-coated.
  8. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

Pat the chicken pieces dry before breading for best results. Customize sauce sweetness according to taste. Serve with rice or noodles.
