Ingredients:

1 lb Chicken breast (Cut into bite-size pieces/cubes)

1 ½ cups Flour

½ cup Cornstarch

½ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Black Pepper

2 Large Eggs

2 tsp Vegetable Oil, and more for frying

Ingredients for Orange Sauce:

1 Large Orange (Zest & Juice)

2 tbsp Soy Sauce

¼ cup Rice Vinegar

½ cup Brown sugar

2 Garlic cloves (minced)

1 tbsp Cornstarch

1 tbsp Water (to dissolve the Cornstarch)

Garnishes

Sesame seeds

Green onion (chopped)

Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes
In a medium size bowl mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper. Add the eggs, oil, and water and whisk until smooth.

If the mixture is too dry, we can add an extra egg.

Add the chicken cubes to the mixture making sure the chicken is completely covered by the mixture, and well coated. Cover the dish, and place in the fridge fo 1 hour.

In a medium size pan, hit enough oil for frying.
Line a plate with paper towels to remove the excess of oil from the chicken
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces (ensure that you remove the excess of batter)
Deep fry until the chicken is golden.

Orange Sauce:

In a medium saucepan, add the orange juice, zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and the minced garlic. Over Medium heat, and bring to boil.
Mix cornstarch and water in a separate bowl/glass. Make sure the cornstarch is completely dissolved in the water, and add it to the sauce. With a wooden spoon, stir until the sauce achieves a thick consistency. ***If you want a thicker sauce, add more cornstarch, but make sure the cornstarch is well dissolved in water prior to adding to the saucepan.

Place the fried chicken in a serving tray, and pour the Orange sauce over. Garnish with sesame seeds, and green onions.
