Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Vegetable oil, for frying
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 eggs
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 orange, zested
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons hot pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
Stormy Rice, recipe follows
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup white rice, rinsed
2 cups chicken broth 1/4 cup slightly crushed peanuts
2 scallions, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour in enough oil to fill the pot about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
  • Line a sheet tray with a wire cooling rack. Slice chicken into 2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste. In a paper bag, shake together salt, pepper, flour and cornstarch. Dip the chicken in batches, first in egg mixture, then in the flour mixture and shake to coat. Set on a wire rack and let sit 10 minutes. While chicken is resting, prepare sauce. In a large straight sided saute pan combine orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, butter, hot pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully place chicken in hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the saute pan with the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Remove to a serving platter and serve on Stormy Rice.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and rice and saute 4 minutes, stirring, so that the rice toasts and the garlic cooks. Add the chicken broth to the rice mixture, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered another 5 minutes. Stir in the peanuts, scallions, and salt and pepper, to taste. Rice can be made 1 day ahead, then warmed and combined with other ingredients before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and overcooked. The sauce was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
