Orange chicken is made with crispy fried chicken that has been tossed in a thick, syrupy, sweet and tangy orange sauce. This classic takeout dish is so easy to make at home!
You'll only need a few ingredients to make this easy recipe. Let's round them up and get started!
Cut the chicken into cubes and organize the batter stations (i.e. the flour mixture and the egg mixture).
Heat the oil, and then start dipping the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, using a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel.
Next, place the egg-coated chicken into the flour mixture and coat each piece thoroughly.
Place the breaded chicken in the skillet and cook the first side for about 5 minutes, then flip it to the other side.
Combine about 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the cornstarch, and whisk them together. Set aside for later use. Then, combine the sauce ingredients in another bowl.
Remove the chicken from the skillet when it's finished cooking, and pour the sauce in. Stir in the cornstarch mixture, and cook for 5-10 minutes. Stir often!
When the sauce is fully cooked, add the chicken back in and stir to coat everything.
Garnish your orange chicken with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve hot!
