Orange Chicken

Recipes- from Mondern Honey and Cooking With Mima


The chicken- 

  • 6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 Eggs whisked
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • Salt
  • Oil for frying
  • (optional- can add seasonings to the flour mixture)
  • tsp. black pepper or less to taste, fresh ground
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. paprika to add color to the chicken
  • Vegetable oil for frying


Orange sauce- I bought Soy Vay- Orange Ginger sauce

Next time I'll use this Orange sauce recipe-
  • 1 cup Orange Juice
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar or White Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce use tamari for a gluten-free dish
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder or 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
  • Orange Zest from 1 orange
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • sliced onions

  • Dice the chicken into ½ inch cube pieces and place in a bowl. Add in the flour, corn starch, salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and ginger powder to coat the chicken. Amy's addition (I probably doubled all the flour ingredients and seasoning and let all the seasonings sit on the chicekn for about 20 min. Then I put all the chicken on a cookie sheet at 500 degrees for about 20 min.)
  • Or you can cook the chicken on the stove top........In a deep frying pan, bring the oil to medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown. Takes about 2-3 minutes. Do no over cook or else it will become chewy.
  • Meanwhile, whisk all the sauce ingredients and a bowl. Transfer to a hot non stick skillet or frying pan and cook on low-heat, simmering until the sauce thickens up.
  • Transfer the fried chicken to the sauce and mix to coat well. Let the sauce and chicken simmer together for 1-2 minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Serve with homemade Lo Mein Noodles or white rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. (optional)
