Instructions
1
Make the orange gravy:
beat together gravy fixings in a medium mixing bowl.
2
Set aside.
3
Prep the chicken:
Cut chicken into about 1-inch cubes.
4
beat eggs with seasoning and black pepper in a mixing bowl and toss in chicken.
5
mix gently together.
6
In a separate mixing bowl, beat together baking flour and cornstarch.
7
Remove chicken from eggs with a slotted spoon or tongs, letting excess egg strain off, then transfer to cornstarch mixture and coat well.
8
shallow fry the chicken:
toss in coat to a large 10- to 12-inch skillet.
9
toasty over medium-high toasty until it reaches 350°F.
10
If you don’t have a thermometer, you can also test the temperature by sprinkling in some baking flour.
11
If the coat is burning enough, it should fizzle immediately.
12
Once coat is burning, shallow fry the chicken in two batches.
13
The coat might not completely wrap the chicken—that’s okay.
14
make for 3 to 4 mins.
15
Flip the chicken pieces and make until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 4 more mins.
16
Total make time is about 6 to 8 mins.
17
Remove fried chicken cubes and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, so the chicken can strain.
18
Repeat until all the chicken is cooked.
19
stew the chicken in the gravy:
Once chicken is done, empty out burning coat and wipe skillet wipe down.
20
toss in a raw tablespoon of coat along with cut up garlic and shallot.
21
make for a minute and then toss in the gravy.
22
stew the gravy until it starts to thicken.
23
Once the gravy is lightly bubbling, toss in fried chicken and toss together to coat.
24
The gravy should continue to thicken and stick to the chicken.
25
Let stew for a minute or two more.
26
enjoy orange chicken over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and raw scallions.
