Ingredients

Before you get started, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

Follow these steps to make delicious orange chicken:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange marmalade, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Dip the chicken pieces into the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Once all the chicken pieces are cooked, remove any excess oil from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon.
7. Pour the orange sauce into the skillet and heat it over medium heat until it thickens.
8. Add the fried chicken pieces to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until they are well-coated.
9. Serve the orange chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Variations

Feel free to customize your orange chicken recipe by adding vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for added crunch and flavor. You can also adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer. Just make sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

Is there a healthier alternative to frying the chicken?

While frying gives the chicken a crispy texture, you can also bake the coated chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes until they are cooked through and crispy.

What can I serve with orange chicken?

Orange chicken pairs well with steamed rice or fried rice. You can also serve it with a side of steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
