Step 5

Get a generous puddle of oil in your pan and drop your chicken in. Note: Don't scrape the chicken off your cutting board, please gently sprinkle it on

Step 13

When your space is clean, and your food has cooled down, the sauce should have thickened up some more and come down to an edible temperature. At this point you may now stir one final time until the orange zest is evenly distributed
