Panda Express Orange Chicken! Need I say more...

Provided by Jody Wood

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
white pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp oil, divided, plus more for frying
1/2 c corn starch, plus 1 tbsp
1/4 c flour
1 Tbsp ginger root, minced
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp hot red chili pepper, crushed
1/4 c green onion, chopped
1 Tbsp shaoxing rice wine
1/4 c water
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp water
5 Tbsp sugar
5 Tbsp white vinegar
1 orange, zest grated

Steps:

  • 1. Orange Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons water, sugar, white vinegar, and orange zest. Set aside.
  • 2. Chicken: In another bowl, mix egg, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon oil. In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup corn starch and flour and mix well. In a third small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 1/4 cup water and set aside. Heat oil in a wok or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Working in small batches, dip chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then the corn starch mixture and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • 3. Discard oil and clean wok. Heat for 15 seconds over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, ginger root, and garlic and stir fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chili peppers and green onions, then stir fry for a few seconds. Add rice wine and stir for 3 seconds. Add orange sauce and bring to boil. Add cooked chicken and stir until well mixed. Stir water and corn starch mixture if it has separated, then add to the pan. Heat until the sauce has thickened. Stir in sesame oil.

The chicken didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try frying it instead of baking it next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of orange chicken, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was flavorful, but not too sweet.
