Directions
1
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
2
Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and water to create the batter.
3
Coat the chicken cubes in the batter and fry in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes.
4
Let the chicken drain, then fry each batch a second time for 2 minutes.
5
For the sauce, mix orange juice, sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a pan.
6
Once the sauce simmers, stir in a slurry of 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water and let thicken.
7
Toss the crispy chicken into the sauce to coat.
Ingredients
2 whole chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup water
2 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
Tips
The double-fry technique is key for getting extra crispy chicken.
Work in small batches to stay efficient and avoid overcrowding the pan.
While one batch drains, start the next one.
Ginger in a tube is a convenient option that lasts a long time.
Serve over white rice with roasted broccoli.
