Enjoy a delicious homemade version of crispy orange chicken that rivals your favorite takeout. Tender chicken pieces are coated in a crunchy exterior and then tossed in a sweet and tangy orange sauce, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Orange Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and bite-sized portions for serving.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour mixed with a pinch of salt in one bowl and beaten eggs in another. This helps in coating the chicken evenly.
  3. Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with flour. Make sure each piece is well coated for a crispy exterior.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350°F). Proper oil temperature is key to achieving a crispy crust.
  5. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown (4-5 minutes per side). Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  6. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger powder; simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). This creates the flavorful orange sauce.
  7. Toss fried chicken with the orange sauce until well-coated. Ensure each piece is coated with the delicious sauce.
  8. Serve immediately over rice or noodles. Enjoy your homemade crispy orange chicken!
