ORANGE CHICKEN (RESTAURANT STYLE)



Orange Chicken (Restaurant Style) image

I have been playing with this recipe for ages. I think this comes pretty close to the orange chicken that I enjoy at my favorite chinese restaurant. Served over steamed rice or fried rice makes it a one-dish meal. I sprinkle chopped green onions on mine. Yum.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
peanut oil, for frying (about 3 cups)
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3 drops sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3 drops sesame oil
1 few teaspoons oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
salt

Steps:

  • Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add chicken and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.

This is a great combination of flavors, orange, chicken and snow peas. The chicken isn't battered first so it's a little lighter than some other orange chicken recipes. Originally from a December 1980 Bon Apetit magazine in the R.S.V.P. Letters to the Editor section. The recipe was requested from Le De'lice restaurant in Whippany, New Jersey, owner/chef John Foy.

Provided by Jordan Andino

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

4 cups vegetable oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Juice of 1 orange
2 large eggs, beaten
Kosher salt
1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 oranges, juiced
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sambal oelek
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon fish sauce
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced Chinese sausage
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/4 cup diced carrots
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, cooked according to package directions
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha
1/4 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1/2 cup scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Place the oil in a large pot and heat over medium-high heat until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
  • Combine the chicken, orange juice, eggs and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, mixing vigorously to coat. Add the cornstarch and toss again ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
  • Fry the chicken in the oil until cooked through and the center of the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
  • For the sauce: Heat the soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch, ground ginger and garlic powder in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the orange juice, ketchup, honey and sambal oelek. Whisk until combined. Reduce the heat to low and cook 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the fried rice: Whisk the eggs and fish sauce together in a small bowl. Heat a large skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to the pan and heat for 30 seconds. Add the eggs and cook, stirring, until scrambled and set. Remove from the pan.
  • Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and heat over high heat until the oil smokes. Add the sausage, onions and carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the cooked rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir-fry for 2 more minutes. Add the soy sauce and sriracha and continue cooking until the rice starts to fry and get crispy, about 4 minutes longer. Stir in the peas and scrambled eggs, remove from the heat and sprinkle with the scallions.
  • Pour the hot sauce over the fried chicken. Serve with the rice.
