What to do:

•Add your flour, corn starch and all your seasoning into a bone and mix together. I didn’t measure any of my seasoning just do what feels right in your spirt. Set aside.
•Crack three eggs into a bowl or small baking dish whatever you have on hand. Add salt and pepper to your eggs and whisk your eggs together.
•Take your chicken and add your chicken to your egg batter, then to your flour mixture. Be sure to do this in batches and be sure to shake off any extra flour from your chicken. Place your chicken on a baking pan.
•Add some vegetable oil to a pot and turn onto medium-high heat. Fry your chicken until golden brown. Be sure to fry in batches.
•When you are frying your last batch of chicken, you are going to warm up your sauce in a sauce pan. I added half the bottle since I had a small amount of chicken. I also add about a half a cup of water to my sauce just to thin it out a little but that is optional.
•When your sauce is warmed up, pour over your chicken stir and service with rice and your favorite vegetable.
Orange Chicken is a beloved Chinese-American dish known for its sweet and tangy flavor. To make the perfect orange chicken, it's essential to have a well-balanced sauce that combines orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar to create that signature taste. Many recipes suggest using a specific brand of orange sauce, such as the 'ORANGE SAUCE CHINESE,' which can enhance the dish's authenticity and flavor profile. When frying, ensure that the oil is hot enough to create that golden-brown crispiness without making the chicken greasy. Using freshly cut chicken breast will provide the best texture. If you want to elevate your dish even further, consider adding vegetables like bell peppers and broccoli when serving, which not only enhance the taste but also add nutritional value. Pairing your orange chicken with jasmine rice or fried rice is common. Sometimes, chefs add sesame seeds or spring onions as a garnish for a touch of elegance. Experimenting with different spices in your flour mixture can also yield unique flavors, making your orange chicken a standout dish at home. This recipe is not just quick but can impress guests and family alike, making it a staple for any home cook.
