Method

Step 1

To begin, make your sauce by combining the juice and zest of one orange, rice and white vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and cayenne. Combine in a pot on a medium-low heat and simmer for five minutes.

Step 2

Prepare your corn-starch mix by mixing water with the corn-starch and combine. When done, add to the sauce to thicken. Allow to reduce on low for ten minutes

Step 3

Then, cut your chicken tenders into five small chunks. Place in a bowl followed by salt, pepper and garlic powder and leave to marinate.

Step 4

Meanwhile, whisk together your egg and milk in a jug, and prepare a bowl of the following: corn-starch, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Soak your chicken in the egg mixture and then cover with the flour mix.

Step 5

Now fry in hot oil for five minutes, remove and let rest for five minutes whilst heating the oil to 375F. Then fry for a further five minutes.

Step 6

In a separate pan, heat up the orange sauce made earlier, bring to a slight boil and add in your chicken, coating well. Sautee for five minutes. Serve and enjoy!
