Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken, cut into fry shaped strips
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
Instructions

- In one bowl, combine all purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
- Place beaten eggs in a separate bowl.
