1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c orange juice
1/2 c soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1/2 c honey
1 Tbsp freshly crushed garlic
1/2 Tbsp corn starch

  • 2. combine in a sauce pan the rest of ingredients and bring to a boil, then turn off.
  • 3. add chicken to sauce and simmer 15 minutes

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, gather and measure all ingredients, and prepare any necessary tools or equipment.
  • Citrus Zest: Use a fine grater to zest the orange and lemon. Avoid getting any of the white pith, as it can be bitter.
  • Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice is best, but bottled or carton orange juice can also be used.
  • Honey: Use a good quality honey, preferably one that is not too thick or crystallized.
  • Soy Sauce: Use a low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Cornstarch: Cornstarch helps to thicken the sauce and give it a glossy finish. Make sure to whisk it into a smooth slurry with water before adding it to the sauce.
  • Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces. Chicken tenders can also be used.
  • Frying: Heat the oil to the proper temperature before adding the chicken. The chicken should sizzle immediately when it hits the oil.
  • Stir-Frying: Stir-frying the chicken and vegetables over high heat helps to create a flavorful and slightly caramelized sauce.
  • Garnish: Garnish the finished dish with fresh orange slices, chopped green onions, or sesame seeds.
