Ingredients:
- 1 pounds - Boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins diced
- 3 whole - Eggs whisked
- 1/3 cups - Cornstarch
- 1/3 cups - Flour
- 1 cups - Orange juice
- 1/2 cups - Sugar
- 2 tablespoons - Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons - Soy Sauce
- 1/4 teaspoons - Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoons - Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoons - Cornstarch
Directions:
To make orange sauce:
1. In a medium pot, add orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes. Heat for 3 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 Tablespoons of water to form a paste. Add to orange sauce and whisk together. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken. Once the sauce is thickened, remove from heat and add orange zest.
To make chicken:
1. Place flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish or pie plate. Add a pinch of salt. Stir.
2. Whisk eggs in shallow dish.
3. Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture and then flour mixture. Place on plate.
4. Heat 2 -3 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Using a thermometer, watch for it to reach 350 degrees.
5. Working in batches, cook several chicken pieces at a time. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes, turning often until golden brown. Place chicken on a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat.
6. Toss chicken with orange sauce. You may reserve some of the sauce to place on rice. Serve it with a sprinkling of green onion and orange zest, if so desired.
