Prep: 25min

Total: 50min

Yield: 6

Ingredients:

• 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 pinch white pepper
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons chopped green onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 6 dried whole red chilies
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water

Instruction:

1. Weigh and measure the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
2. Preheat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or deep-fryer until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190°C).
3. In a large bowl, whisk the egg with salt and pepper, then stir in the chicken. Add the cornstarch a little at a time and mix well until the chicken is completed coated.
4. Once the oil is at the right temperature, carefully drop pieces of chicken into the pot, working in batches to keep from overcrowding. Fry until the chicken turns golden brown and starts to float to the surface. This should take around 3 minutes.
5. Remove the chicken from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Continue cooking the chicken in batches until it’s all done.
6. After all the chicken has been cooked once, fry it all again, in batches, until it’s darker golden and crispy, which should take another 2 minutes. Transfer it all onto a new plate lined with paper towels.
7. Once the chicken is double fried, prepare the sauce. Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into a wok or skillet on high heat. Add the chopped green onions, whole chilies, orange zest, and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
8. Add the sugar, soy sauce, broth, peanut oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes.
9. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water until it dissolves. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce, stirring constantly as it comes to a boil. Cook until the sauce thickens – about 1-2 minutes.
10. Add the cooked chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 3-4 minutes, tossing to coat the chicken with the sauce.
11. Serve and enjoy!
