Ingredients and Substitutions
Chicken. You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. I prefer using thigh meat as it stays super moist and juicy. For the breading: Flour, cornstarch, eggs and salt. Oil, for frying. Use a neutral oil with a high smoking point. Sunflower oil, Canola oil etc are all good options. For the sauce: Fresh garlic cloves, ginger, chicken broth/chicken stock, orange juice, orange zest, rice vinegar, sugar and soy sauce. You could use either white or brown sugar for this recipe.

How to reheat orange chicken
Reheating orange chicken will mean that the texture won’t be as crispy. However, the taste will still be delicious. Place the chicken and sauce in a casserole dish and heat in a 220ºC/390ºF oven until hot and bubbling before serving. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
