CHICKEN
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp cold water
2 eggs
1 1/2 c flour
dash(es) salt and pepper
SAUCE
1 c barbecue sauce
1/4 c white wine
4 Tbsp orange marmalade
1 clove garlic, minced
3 drops orange extract flavoring
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 c cornstarch slurry (see note)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
GARNISH
2 snipped green onions
2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Steps:

1. Rinse the chicken and cut into 1-inch pieces. In a small bowl, beat eggs and cold water. Put flour in a bag with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in the egg and then drop in the bag of flour and coat.
2. Drop chicken in a large pan of hot oil and cook thoroughly. Remove from pan and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb any extra oil.
3. In a saucepan mix barbecue sauce, white wine, marmalade, garlic, extract, crushed red pepper flakes and white pepper. Bring to a simmer and stir in slurry and soy sauce. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens and remove from heat. **For the slurry, mix 1/4 cup cornstarch with 1/8 cup each soy sauce and cold water.**
4. In a large pan add chicken and sauce together and coat chicken. Add snipped chives and sesame seeds.
5. I served this over white rice with a side of steamed broccoli.
