Directions

1Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with a bowl of beaten egg and another bowl with flour and cornstarch mixed together. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg and then coat it in the flour-cornstarch mixture.
2Fry the chicken in batches in a pan with oil until golden and crispy (about 5-6 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
3Make the orange sauce by combining orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
4Toss the fried chicken in the orange sauce until evenly coated.
5Prepare the cucumber salad by slicing cucumbers and onions and mixing them with vinegar and sesame seeds.
