Hello everyone! For those who love fried chicken, this time I'd like to share a recipe for Chinese-style orange-flavored fried chicken.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 eggs (beaten)
- 5 tablespoons of corn starch and 5 tablespoons of flour
- Oil for frying
- 16 tablespoons of orange juice and 8 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1/4 piece of thinly sliced ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- Orange zest (grate the peel of one orange with a knife)
- Corn starch slurry (mix 1 tablespoon of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth)
Step-by-step method
1. First, to make the orange sauce, heat a pot and add the orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili powder, then stir until well combined. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, add the corn starch slurry and stir well again, then let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Once the orange sauce has thickened, you can remove it from the heat. Then sprinkle in the orange zest.
2. In one bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, and salt, mixing well. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
3. Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten egg. Then coat them in the flour mixture and place them on a plate.
4. Heat a pot and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove the fried chicken and place it on a plate.
5. In another pot, mix the fried chicken and the orange sauce together well.
Once all these steps are complete, sprinkle a little chopped spring onion on top.
And there you have it—delicious Chinese-style orange-flavored fried chicken.
