Number Of Ingredients 23

For the orange sauce:
Zest from 1 orange
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup sugar
For the chicken:
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large shallot, chopped
To garnish and serve:
Sliced scallions, garnish
Sesame seeds, garnish
Cooked white rice , to serve

Steps:

  • Make the orange sauce: Whisk together sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Prep the chicken: Cut chicken into about 1-inch cubes. Whisk eggs with salt and black pepper in a bowl and add chicken. Stir together. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch. Remove chicken from eggs with a slotted spoon or tongs, letting excess egg drain off, then transfer to cornstarch mixture and coat well.
  • Fry the chicken: Add oil to a large 10- to 12-inch skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 ̊F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can also test the temperature by sprinkling in some flour and it should fizzle immediately. Once oil is hot, fry the chicken in two batches. The oil might not completely cover the chicken-that's okay. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 4 more minutes. Total cook time is about 6-8 minutes. Remove fried chicken cubes and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, so the chicken can drain. Repeat until all the chicken is cooked.
  • Simmer the chicken in the sauce: Once chicken is done, pour out hot oil and wipe pan clean. Add a fresh tablespoon of oil along with chopped garlic and shallot. Cook for a minute and then add the sauce. Simmer the sauce until it starts to thicken. Once the sauce is lightly bubbling, add fried chicken and toss together to coat. The sauce should continue to thicken and stick to the chicken. Let simmer for a minute or two more. Serve orange chicken over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh scallions. LEFTOVERS! The orange chicken keeps well in the fridge for 5 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water over low heat. Freeze the orange chicken for up to 3 months, but be sure to thaw it before reheating so the chicken doesn't clump together.

ORANGE-SESAME CHICKEN

Chinese is not always healthy so I created my own recipe that is healthy, quick & easy. Once you do the prep, it cooks in less than 10 minutes and toasted sesame oil is key. Get your rice started first and try a side of steamed broccoli. This is really good! - Jenny Jones

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (one large orange)
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar (works with less sugar)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
about 3/4 pound boneless chicken breast cut in 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a small zip lock bag. Add chicken and marinate for 15-20 min.
  • Combine sauce ingredients in a measuring cup. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan on medium-high heat and add chicken, discarding marinade. Sauté 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Reduce temperature, add sauce & cook 2-3 minutes until thick.
  • Stir in 1/2 tsp. sesame oil (and toasted sesame seeds if you like).
  • Serve over rice. A side of steamed broccoli goes really well.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
peanut oil, for frying (about 3 cups)
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3 drops sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3 drops sesame oil
1 few teaspoons oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
salt

Steps:

  • Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add chicken and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients: orange juice, chicken stock, sugar, soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil. In a small to medium sized pot, heat up a few teaspoons oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add apple cider vinegar, then the combined sauce ingredients. Simmer until liquid is reduced by three fourths, about 15 minutes. Stir in cornstarch and water mixture until sauce thickens, then season with salt to taste. Set sauce aside and keep warm.
  • Drip excess marinade off the chicken, and toss cubes in 1 cup of cornstarch. Shake off excess before frying.
  • Meanwhile, heat up the 3 cups oil in a wok. When oil just begins to smoke, add the first batch of chicken cubes and deep-fry until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Reheat orange sauce and add drained chicken cubes. Mix until well-coated. Plate and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 7 oz. each)
1 navel orange
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or 1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon red chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Heat a small skillet on medium high heat. Add the sesame seeds. Toast sesame seeds until fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Do not turn your back on the seeds while cooking, they can easily and quickly burn. Stir often to keep them from burning.
  • You may hear them pop, and some of them may hop out of the pan while cooking. When lightly browned remove from heat and set aside.
  • Mix melted butter in with the bread crumbs. Heat a large skillet on a medium high, add the bread crumbs, stir often until the bread crumbs get toasty brown. Remove from heat, let cool.
  • Heat the oven to 450°F Line a roasting pan with foil. Put a flat baking rack on the lined roasting pan.
  • Use a meat pounder to lightly pound the chicken breasts between two pieces of wax paper to even out the thickness of the breasts.
  • Use a microplane grater to grate the zest from the orange. Place the zest in a large bowl.
  • Cut 4 thin round slices from the center of the orange to use with this recipe. Save the rest of the orange for snacking.
  • 6 Add to the large bowl with the zest, the marmalade, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut oil, chili sauce and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce, coating every piece. You can at this point make ahead by 24 hours and let the chicken marinate, or you can go ahead with the recipe.
  • In a large, shallow dish, mix together the toasted sesame seeds and bread crumbs. Working with the chicken one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the coating, pressing down on the crumbs to make sure they adhere well.
  • Transfer to the backing rack on the lined roasting pan. Dip the orange slices in the leftover marmalade mix and set on the rack.
  • Cook at 450°F until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately, topped with the orange slices.
