Time 1h20m

Yield 1/2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Pour 1 1/2 cups water, orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce into a saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Stir in the orange zest, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chopped onion, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and cool 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Place the chicken pieces into a reseal able plastic bag. When contents of saucepan have cooled, pour 1 cup of sauce into bag. Reserve the remaining sauce. Seal the bag, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • In another reseal able plastic bag, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the marinated chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken into the skillet, and brown on both sides. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels, and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Wipe out the skillet, and add the sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water; stir into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium low; add the chicken pieces, and simmer, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
  • * I usually skip the marinating part and just make the sauce. I dip the chicken pieces in a batter of 4 egg whites, Whip egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Stir in 2/3cup of mochiko until it has a pasty consistency. Dip the pieces in the batter and deep fry. This batter gives it a light fluffy texture, the way you get them in the restaurants. You can find Mochiko in the Asian aisle of most grocery stores. Flour will not produce the same kind of texture; it really is worth finding the mochiko if you plan on making it this way.

ROASTED ORANGE CHICKEN



Roasted Orange Chicken image

Whole tangerines, peel and all, roast alongside chicken in a sweetened soy sauce that thickens into a glaze and lacquers the bird. The fruit wedges soften in the syrupy sauce while infusing it with their floral bittersweetness. Reminiscent of savory Cantonese soy sauce chicken and tangy American Chinese orange chicken, this dish also combines the warmth of ginger with the bit of heat from ground hot chiles. You can eat the tangerine wedges along with the chicken, which is delicious with its sauce over steamed rice or boiled noodles. Serve with stir-fried brussels sprouts or bok choy.

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 small tangerines or clementines
1/2 packed cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cayenne or other hot red ground chile
1 (4-pound) whole chicken
Salt and black pepper
8 slices peeled fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 2 to 3 tangerines into a small bowl; reserve the spent peels. Cut the remaining tangerines into wedges with their peels intact, and set aside. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne to the tangerine juice and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wingtips behind the body. Stuff the tangerine peels and 6 ginger slices into the cavity, then tie the legs together using kitchen twine. Place in a large ovenproof skillet, and scatter the tangerine wedges and remaining 2 slices ginger around the chicken.
  • Slowly pour the juice mixture all over the chicken, then slide the skillet into the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Using a large spoon or baster, quickly and carefully coat the chicken with the pan sauce. Continue roasting, basting every 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 155 degrees and, in the leg, 170 degrees. The chicken will continue to cook while it rests.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. If the pan sauce isn't already syrupy, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Be sure to wear oven mitts or use a kitchen towel to hold the skillet (the handle is hot). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bubbles grow larger and paler brown, and the sauce is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Discard the ginger.
  • Serve the chicken whole or carved with the glaze poured all over the meat. Arrange the tangerine wedges from the pan around the bird. You can eat them, if you'd like.

Categories     Chicken     Fry     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Orange     Soy Sauce     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the chicken:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, patted dry and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1/2 cup cornstarch
About 2 cups canola oil for frying
For the orange sauce:
2 oranges
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger (from 1-inch piece)
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned) or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Thinly sliced scallion greens, for garnish
Thinly sliced fresh red chile, for garnish (optional)
Cooked rice for serving
Equipment: 10-inch cast-iron skillet or other high-sided skillet (at least 2 inches deep), deep-fry thermometer, Microplane (for optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Start the chicken:
  • In a shallow, medium bowl toss the chicken pieces with the soy sauce and wine. Let stand while you make the sauce.
  • Make the orange sauce:
  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove 4 lengthwise strips of zest from 1 orange-each strip should be about 3/4 inch wide and 3 1/2 to 4 inches long. Arrange the zest in one layer between paper towels and microwave on high in 20-second increments until dry and brittle but not browned, 60 to 80 seconds total. Let the zest cool then finely chop it. If desired, use a Microplane to remove some of the remaining zest from the orange and reserve it for garnish. (If desired, zest the second orange for additional garnish.)
  • Squeeze enough juice from both oranges to measure 1/2 cup. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  • In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper, and dried orange zest and stir-fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, wine, vinegar, and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 5 seconds. Stir the orange juice-cornstarch mixture then add it to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside while you fry the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken:
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365°F. Meanwhile, coat half of the chicken, a couple pieces at a time, in cornstarch, making sure they are well coated and gently knocking off any excess, then transfer to a plate. Carefully add all the coated chicken to the hot oil, spacing the pieces apart from each other. Fry the chicken, turning it once or twice, until deep golden, about 5 minutes. While frying, adjust the heat as necessary to keep the oil at 365°F. Using a metal spider or a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken as done to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Continue to coat and fry the remaining chicken in the same manner, returning the oil to 365°F between batches.
  • Once the chicken is fried, place the skillet of reserved orange sauce over moderately low heat and bring it to a simmer, stirring and thinning the sauce with a little water if necessary. Add the chicken, and stir until thoroughly coated in sauce.
  • To serve:
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with the scallions, and, if desired, the red chile slices and the freshly grated orange zest. Serve immediately with rice.
