Easy & Healthy Oven Baked Orange Chicken Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450ºF and season your chicken with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Transfer your chicken to a ziplock/plastic bag along with 2 tablespoons of corn starch and shake well. Arrange the chicken onto an oiled tray on a foil lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake your chicken for 30 minutes at 450ºF, flipping once after 20 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is baking, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 1 tablespoon of water in a cup and stir into a smooth slurry.

Step 5

Make your sauce by combining orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Add the corn starch slurry to it and bring to a boil, then take off the heat and stir until a smooth and glossy sauce forms. Set aside and relax with a glass of wine until the chicken is done.

Step 6

When your chicken is crispy and brown, toss it in the sauce until everything is evenly coated. Top with sesame seeds and chopped green onions with a side of rice, and enjoy!
