ORANGE CHICKEN (RESTAURANT STYLE)
I have been playing with this recipe for ages. I think this comes pretty close to the orange chicken that I enjoy at my favorite chinese restaurant. Served over steamed rice or fried rice makes it a one-dish meal. I sprinkle chopped green onions on mine. Yum.

CHINESE TAKE-OUT: ORANGE CHICKEN
I've found it easier (and cheaper) to make Chinese food at home. No more waiting for the delivery driver to bring you cold food, no more waiting to be served in a restaurant, no more tipping. This is one of many Chinese recipes that I prepare, and we feast at home for a fraction of the price. The best part is, we know it is going to be good. I hope you enjoy this one of my many "stay at home" Chinese dishes. Prep time includes 1 hour marinade time and 1 hour refrigeration time after coating. Step #4 has been edited in response to googles2 review. Thank you Chef for bringing this to my attention. :)

Steps:
- Thoroughly mix together all the marinade ingredients. Put chicken pieces into a large zip-lock baggie. Add 1/2 cup of marinade to the baggie and seal, reserving the rest. Toss chicken to thoroughly cover and place baggie into a glass dish and refrigerate for 1 hour, tossing again after 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place beaten eggs in a bowl on the counter. Place the 1 cup of cornstarch into a pie pan. Put the 1 cup oil into a deep, heavy bottom skillet. Place remaining, un-used marinade into a sauce pan.
- Remove chicken pieces from the marinade, and place on a plate. Discard used marinade.
- Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten egg, then dredge thru the cornstarch. Gently press pieces to be sure they are coated. Place chicken into the fridge for 1 hour to set the coating. EDITED: Place the dredged chicken pieces on a wire rack over a sheet pan to refrigerate, I do not recommend leaving the chicken pieces in the pan of cornstarch.
- After 1 hour remove the chicken from the fridge and heat remaining marinade over medium heat to a boil, stirring occasionally. Combine water and the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and while stirring constantly, slowly add enough slurry to the boiling marinade until desired thickness (you may not need it all). Boil 1-2 minutes and remove from heat.
- Heat oil in a deep, heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat. Oil is hot enough when a pinch of cornstarch is sprinkled in and it bubbles. (Sorry, I don't use a thermometer).
- Now, working in batches, carefully add a small portion of the chicken pieces to the oil and gently roll for 2 minutes (or until chicken is cooked thru). Do not over crowd the pan because it will drop the oil temp and you will have greasy chicken rather than crispy. Remove the pieces using a metal slotted spoon (or a spider) to a paper towel lined plate, let oil temp return and begin another batch.
- When all chicken pieces are done and thoroughly drained, toss them into the pan with the heated marinade. Serve immediately over white rice and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions, if using.
- Enjoy!

ORANGE PEEL CHICKEN
In this recipe, there is some extra busywork to make these crisped orange peels. If you want to save time, simply add some orange sections and zest at the last minute instead. Want to make it spicy, add red pepper flakes to the stir-fry. Serve my version of this Chinese-American dish over a bowl of steamed jasmine rice...

Steps:
- For the candied orange peels: Bring 3 small pots of water to a boil. Divide the skins in the water and cook for 4 minutes in each pot before draining. This process removes bitterness from the skin.
- Combine the sugar, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon and 2 1/2 cups water in one of the pots from boiling the oranges and submerge the blanched orange skins. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. (Do not allow the syrup to brown or discolor.)
- Drain the skins of any excess syrup (reserve the syrup for another use, such as for cocktails) and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Cover and allow them to sit overnight. Cut them into strips.
- Make the sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil over medium heat until the sauce reduces slightly, about 10 minutes.
- For the stir-fry: In a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and cook until they soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet. Add 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet and heat until it smokes lightly. Spread the chicken out in a single layer on a sheet tray and sprinkle with salt. Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Allow the chicken to cook, mostly untouched, stirring once, until it browns around the edges and is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat and add the orange peel strips. Cook until slightly crispy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- To the skillet with the chicken, add the snow peas, garlic, scallions and mushrooms. Taste for seasoning. Add the chiles de arbol, if using, and the grated ginger. Add half of the fried orange peel slices and the sauce, then transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with the remaining fried orange peels. Serve with the rice.
