Orange Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes.

In a large bowl, create the batter by mixing all-purpose flour, cornstarch, an egg, and water until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Add the chicken cubes to the batter and mix until every piece is fully coated.

Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Carefully add the battered chicken pieces in batches and fry until they are golden brown.

For extra crispiness, remove the chicken from the oil, and then fry it a second time until deep golden and cooked through. Set aside on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

In a separate pan, sauté minced garlic and grated ginger over medium heat until fragrant.

Pour in the fresh orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and add the orange zest and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved.

To thicken the sauce, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and slowly pour it into the pan while stirring.

Add the crispy fried chicken to the sauce and toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

Transfer the orange chicken to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
