This Orange Chicken will take your breath away! Crispy fried chicken covered in an authentic orange sauce, a lot better than take-out.
In a pot, add orange juice, sugar, soy sauce, white vinegar and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes on low heat.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 tsp of cornflour / cornstarch with 2 tsp of water to form a paste.
Add to orange sauce and whisk together. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken. Once the sauce is thickened, remove from heat and add orange zest.
Cut the chicken breasts into big cubes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Mix flour and cornflour / cornstarch in a small bowl.
Dip chicken pieces in flour mixture. Place on plate.
Add enough oil into a frying pan and place on medium high heat.
Working in batches, cook several chicken pieces at a time. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turning often until golden brown.
Mix fried chicken with orange sauce. You may serve with white rice or vegetables.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy.
