Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 egg whites
4 boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup orange juice (I used Simply Orange)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 packed tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Dash salt
Dash crushed red pepper
1 clove garlic, pressed
A little grated or minced ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and egg whites with a fork until almost frothy, about 1 minute. Add the chicken to the mixture and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, put the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, crushed red pepper, garlic and ginger in a small nonstick skillet and whisk. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch slurry to the sauce. Mix in and thicken for 1 minute.
  • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Carefully drop the chicken into the oil and move it around, flipping gently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the pieces drain on a plate lined with paper towels for 2 to 3 minutes. Then drop them back into the oil for 1 minute to really solidify the coating.
  • Toss the chicken in the sauce and serve.

APPLE-ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN FOR TWO



Apple-Orange Glazed Chicken for Two image

Adapted from Betty Crocker's Cooking for Two (2002). Quick, easy recipe. The original recipe only called for sauteing the chicken in butter, so I added a few ingredients to customize it and make the chicken more flavorful. Goes great with steamed green beans and rice. Note: Can substitute orange marmalade or other jams for the apple-butter.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges will give your chicken a brighter, more flavorful taste than bottled or canned orange juice.
  • Grate the orange zest: The zest of an orange is the outermost layer of the peel. It contains a lot of flavor, so grating it and adding it to your chicken will give it a delicious citrusy kick.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: Orange chicken is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help prevent the chicken from becoming dry or tough.

Conclusion:

Orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
