  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Add the chicken to a large bowl, along with the orange zest, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (170°C),
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and coat in the flour, then the eggs, then the panko.
  • Working in batches, fry the breaded chicken in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain.
  • Make the orange sauce: In a medium pan, combine the chicken stock, orange zest and juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Mix the cornflour with the water, then add the slurry to the sauce and cook until thickened.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and toss to coat with the orange sauce.
