Crispy Orange Chicken

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour mixed with a pinch of salt in one bowl and beaten eggs in another.
  3. Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with flour.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350°F).
  5. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown (4-5 minutes per side).
  6. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger powder; simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  7. Toss fried chicken with the orange sauce until well-coated.
  8. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
