Dad's Orange Chicken: A Chinese Chef's Secrets (Video)!

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast in half horizontally to even out the thickness. Then cut it into roughly 1/2 inch thick strips.

Step 2

Slice orange into 1/8ths, and then squeeze out the juice into a small bowl. Put the juiced slices aside for later.

Step 3

Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl.

Step 4

Cut up the orange for garnish. Cut the orange in half, and then into 1/4 inch slices.

Step 5

Mix together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Then, mix in water. You can add more water to adjust for the consistency of the batter.

Step 6

In a deep pot, pour in enough oil so that the chicken will be submerged completely. Heat up the oil to 300°F.

Step 7

With the stove on high, add oil to the wok. Add the thinly sliced orange peel and give it a quick stir.

Step 8

Arrange the sauced-up chicken onto the plate with your neatly-arranged orange slices, and if you have sesame seeds, sprinkle them on top.
