"Orange" Chicken

I found this yummy orange chicken recipe online and tried it out the other night. Alax and I both LOVED it. While it was delicious, it tasted nothing like orange chicken...But it was easy to make, and I'm all about that.

Chicken:
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • white pepper
  • oil ( for frying)
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch, plus
  • 1/4 cup flour

  1. Place chicken pieces on plate or in large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl: Stir together the egg, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon oil and mix well.
  3. Stir cornstarch and flour together in another bowl.
  4. Coat each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, then roll generously in the cornstarch/flour mixture.
  5. Set each prepared piece of chicken on a plate, and fry in oil.

Sauce:

  • 1 C. sugar
  • 1 T. flour
  • 1/3 C. vinegar
  • 1/3 C. ketchup
  • 1/4 C. chicken broth
  • 1 T. season salt
  • 2 T. soy sauce

  1. Mix & microwave for 5 minutes, stirring half way through.
  2. Pour sauce over chicken
  3. Bake uncovered at 350 until hot and bubbly
