Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs (Panko)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups orange juice, fresh squeezed
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons mirin
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce (Sriracha)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated fine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
toasted sesame seeds
green onion, snipped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Using 2 pie plates, add the beaten eggs to one and toss the panko and flour in the other. Dredge each chicken piece in the egg and then in the panko mixture and add to the prepared baking tray. Repeat with remaining chicken. Bake for 10 minutes and turn the pieces, then continue to cook for another 10 minutes, or until chicken is done to your liking.
  • Meanwhile, add the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sriracha, garlic and ginger to a medium saucepan. Bring to a low boil, stir occasionally, turn heat down to low. When the chicken is just about done, add the cornstarch to the orange juice mixture and bring to a boil. Heat until thickened enough to coat a spoon. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large serving bowl add the cooked chicken and top with the orange sauce, toss lightly to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions and serve with steamed white rice.

Tips:

1. Use a light-colored oil, such as vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil, for frying. This will help prevent the chicken from getting too dark. 2. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken. The oil should be shimmering and about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the chicken cook evenly. 4. Don't stir the chicken too much. Stirring the chicken too much will prevent it from getting crispy. 5. Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side. 6. Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove any excess oil. 7. Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Orange sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or honey mustard sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and juicy, and the orange sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
