Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 c + 2 Tbsp cornstarch, divided
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 c vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 c chicken broth
- 1/2 c freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1/3 c distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 c soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp orange zest
- 1 tsp Sriracha, or more, to taste
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- To make the marinade, whisk together chicken broth, orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, orange zest, Sriracha, ginger and white pepper in a large bowl.
- In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and 2/3 cup of the marinade; marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
- Heat remaining marinade in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir in 2 tablespoons cornstarch combined with 2 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened about 1-2 minutes; keep warm.
- Working one at a time, dip the chicken into the eggs, then dredge in remaining 1 cup cornstarch, pressing to coat.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Working in batches, add chicken and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil.
- Serve chicken immediately, tossed or drizzled with the marinade, garnished with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired.
