1. To some cut up chicken thighs, add two egg whites, soy sauce and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Add corn starch until you get a paint like better.
3. Fry these in some oil over medium heat until they are golden brown.
4. On the first fry, there will be a light golden brown in color. Crank the heat up a little bit, fry them again and this will get them crispy and a little darker in color.
5. For the sauce, in a bowl combine half a cup of soy sauce, water, and white vinegar.
6. Add in some orange zest and the juice of two oranges and two thirds cups of brown sugar.
7. Mix that together and add it to a pan and bring it to a simmer.
8. Once it begins to simmer, add a slurry mixture, which is cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce.
9. Once it's nice and thick coat all of your chicken.
