  • saucepan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut chicken breasts into strips and pat them dry.
  2. In one bowl, combine flour and cornstarch; in another, whisk the eggs.
  3. Dip each chicken strip first in the egg, then in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully fry the coated chicken strips in batches for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove fried chicken and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Orange Sauce
  1. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Toss the fried chicken sticks in the orange sauce until evenly coated.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can double-fry the chicken. Serve immediately for best results, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
