Orange Chicken



Orange Chicken

Orange chicken is famous in Chinese restaurants and take out. This is a home made version. It is crispy chicken coated with a sticky citrus flavored sauce. This chicken dish is sweet and tangy with the right amount of heat from chilly garlic sauce. You can substitute chilly garlic sauce with fresh ground chilly or chilly flakes.

Chilly garlic sauce- 1 tsp
( I used the Lee Kum Kee brand)
Chicken stock- 1/3 cup
Sugar-a pinch
Rice vinegar- 2 tsp
Corn starch- 1 tsp



Cut chicken into small bite size pieces. Marinate with pepper powder, grated ginger and salt and keep aside for 10 minutes. After ten minutes add well beaten egg, corn starch and one tbs all purpose flour and mix well.
Deep fry this in oil till it is crisp and golden. Drain and set aside.
