Orange Chicken

Instructions

For the chicken:

1. Whisk the egg whites with the corn starch, then add the chicken pieces and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.

For the sauce:

1. In a pan, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, and orange zest. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of corn starch with 1/4 cup of water, then add this mixture to the boiling sauce. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens.
3. If the sauce is too thin, you can add another 1 tablespoon of corn starch mixed with 1/4 cup of water.

Cooking the chicken:

1. Fry the chicken pieces one by one in hot oil until they turn golden brown, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
2. After frying all the chicken, return them to the oil for a second fry.

Serving:

1. Toss the fried chicken in the hot sauce, sprinkle with green onions, and serve.
