Provided by Harleygirl

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds chicken pieces, boneless and skinned
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
White pepper
Oil for frying
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon ginger root, minced
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1 dash red hot chilies
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon white rice wine
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons orange zest, minced
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons chicken stock
1 tablespoon light soy sauce

Steps:

  • ORANGE SAUCE: Combine zest, orange juice, granulated sugar, chicken stock and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside. Cut chicken in 2-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Stir in egg, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil and mix well. Heat oil for deep-frying in wok or deep-fryer to 375°F. Coat all chicken pieces with the flour and corn starch mixture. Add chicken pieces, a small batch at a time, and fry 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and crisp. Do not overcook or chicken will be tough. Remove chicken from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside. Clean wok and heat 15 seconds over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add and stir-fry crushed chiles and green onions. Add rice wine and stir 3 seconds. Add orange sauce and bring to a boil. Add cooked chicken, stirring until well mixed. Stir water into remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Add to chicken and heat until sauce is thick. Still in 1 teaspoon sesame oil.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The chicken is always crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I love serving it with white rice and broccoli.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just personal preference. The chicken was cooked perfectly though, and the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who likes sweet and sour dishes.

This recipe is a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly and it still turned out terrible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
