Orange chicken is a popular Chinese-American dish characterized by crispy chicken pieces coated in a tangy, sweet orange sauce.
Ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces. 1/2 cup cornstarch. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 1/2 cup orange juice. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup honey. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon grated ginger. 2 teaspoons sesame oil. 2 green onions, sliced. 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional.
Instructions: In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. In a separate bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
