Great orange flavor – tastes similar to Applebees Crispy Orange Chicken. The following changes should improve texture… After frying chicken keep warm on baking sheet in oven. Reduce cornstarch to 2 tsp. and dissolve in 1 Tbsp. water before wisking into boiling sauce. Transfer chicken to serving platter and pour sauce over all. Don’t heat chicken in sauce or crispy coating will flake off into sauce. Broccoli, sweet peppers, carrots, snow peas, and/or scallions would be nice – may need extra sauce if adding veggies.
Blog Chef has a nice recipe that you can tell has his personal touch. It is not the same copied recipe that you see on so many sites. He suggests using Peanut Oil if you are cooking in a wok. I personally just use the oil in a large deep sided pan. Bobby of Blog Chef does a great job of making the recipe exciting and easy to follow. Bobby of Blog Chef’s recipe for Orange Chicken.
