🥢 Copycat Panda Express Orange Chicken

🍗 Ingredients:

For the chicken:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup cornstarch

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• Salt & pepper

• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For the orange sauce:

• 1 tablespoon oil

• 1 clove garlic (minced)

• ½ teaspoon ginger (minced)

• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

• ¼ cup sugar

• ¼ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup orange juice (fresh is best!)

• ¼ cup white vinegar or rice vinegar

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)

• Zest of 1 orange

🔥 Directions:

1. Prep the chicken:

• In a bowl, season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

• In another bowl, beat eggs. In a separate dish, mix cornstarch and flour.

• Dip chicken pieces in egg, then dredge in the cornstarch-flour mix until well coated.

2. Fry it up:

• Heat oil (about 2–3 inches deep) in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C).

• Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 4-5 mins per batch).

• Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. Make the orange sauce:

• In a pan or wok, heat 1 tbsp oil. Sauté garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds.

• Stir in sugar, brown sugar, orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer.

• Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then add to the sauce to thicken (stir constantly).

• Simmer until glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4. Coat and serve:

• Toss fried chicken pieces in the orange sauce until evenly coated.

• Serve hot with steamed rice or fried rice, and top with sesame seeds or green onions if you’re feelin’ fancy.

📝 Tips:

• Chicken thighs are juicier than breast and closer to the real thing.

• You can air fry or oven bake the chicken to make it lighter.

• Add a dash of orange extract if you want it extra citrusy.
