Categories: Chinese, Chicken
Yield: 8 Servings
CHICKEN:
2 lb Boneless skinless chicken
Breasts (cut into 1-1/2"

1 1/2 c All purpose flour
1 Egg (beaten)
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
Oil (for frying)
ORANGE SAUCE:

Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dip chicken in egg mixture and
shake in flour mixture to coat. Deep fry chicken in batches at 375
degrees in a deep fryer (or use a wok) until completely cooked.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan combine 1 1/2 cups water, lemon
juice, orange juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Blend well over
medium heat for a few minutes. Stir in brown sugar, orange zest,
ginger garlic, and onion. Bring to a boil.
Combine 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and mix
thoroughly. Slowly stir cornstarch mixture into sauce until it
thickens. Pour sauce over breaded chicken, and if desired add red
pepper flakes and garnish with green onions.
