- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
- In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Coat chicken pieces with the flour mixture.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the chicken until golden brown.
- In another pan, combine orange juice, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil. Simmer until thickened.
- Add the fried chicken to the sauce and stir well to combine.
- Serve hot with rice or noodles.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add chili flakes to the sauce.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after frying; this helps maintain its crispiness.
