Imagine a bustling kitchen, the sizzling sound of chicken frying up golden brown and that irresistible aroma of fresh orange zest wafting through the air. You're about to coat these crispy bites with a tangy, glossy orange glaze that promises a delightful balance of sweet and savory. Each piece, once enrobed in this luscious sauce, gets a cheerful sprinkle of sesame seeds and a handful of bright green onions for an extra pop of flavor and color. Let’s dive into creating this vibrant dish that’s just as fun to make as it is to eat.
Steps to follow
1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and coat them evenly with cornstarch.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through. Then remove the chicken and set aside.
3
In the same pan, add orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce begins to reduce.
4
Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add it to the sauce and stir well until the sauce thickens.
5
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, and toss with the thickened orange sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
