Instructions
Step 1
* Start by making the batter for the chicken. In a large bowl, add the flour, egg, garlic salt, salt, pepper, and water and mix using a whisk until smooth.
Step 2
* Place the chopped chicken thighs in a separate bowl and sprinkle on the cornstarch. Toss together, so the chicken is coated in the cornflour.
Step 3
* Add the chicken to the batter, and mix so the chicken is coated in the batter.
Step 4
* Add the oil to a wok or large frying pan and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 5
* While the oil is heating, make the orange sauce. In a medium bowl, mix the orange juice and zest, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar.
Step 6
* When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook.
Step 7
* Air Fryer option if you have one. Add your chicken to the air fryer basket, spray with olive oil. Set the air fryer to 390 degrees F for 25 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the chicken and air fry for another 10-15 minutes. Check to make sure the chicken is cooked.
Step 8
* Add the orange sauce to a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. If you want to thicken further, then slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch mixed with 3 tbsp cold water.
Step 9
* Add the chicken and carefully toss together until the chicken is coated in the sauce.
Step 10
* Serve the chicken with steamed rice.
Step 11
* Enjoy!
