REAL ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350°F.
• Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper and seasoning salt.
• Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch bite size pieces.
• In a mixing bowl or Ziploc bag, combine the flour, the remaining teaspoon salt and the granulated sugar.
• In another bowl whisk together the egg whites and water to create an egg wash (Note: If using All-Whites, you do not need to add water).
• Take handful of the chicken-bites and briefly dip and hand toss into the egg wash (coat well).
• Now toss the chicken around in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
• Deep fry for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Then set aside and drain excess grease.
• In a Wok, heat 2 tablespoons oil.
• While the chicken is frying, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger.
• Sauté or sweat the garlic and onions in the wok.
• Pour in the orange sauce. Heat orange sauce until boiling on high heat, then simmer on low heat.
• Add chicken to sauce.
• Let simmer for 10 minutes, occasionally turning over chicken for even coating. Chicken will soften and sauce will somewhat thicken as it simmers.
• Add dried red peppers during the last few minutes of simmering for spice.
• NOTE: For thicker sauce add more brown sugar. For more sauce, double sauce ingredients.
• Trick: For leftovers, refrigerate chicken separate from sauce so that the chicken doesn't get soggy.
• Serve over rice. Add stir-fry broccoli for traditional orange chicken meal. Enjoy!

ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and egg whites with a fork until almost frothy, about 1 minute. Add the chicken to the mixture and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, put the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, crushed red pepper, garlic and ginger in a small nonstick skillet and whisk. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch slurry to the sauce. Mix in and thicken for 1 minute.
• Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Carefully drop the chicken into the oil and move it around, flipping gently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the pieces drain on a plate lined with paper towels for 2 to 3 minutes. Then drop them back into the oil for 1 minute to really solidify the coating.
• Toss the chicken in the sauce and serve.
