Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your delicious Gluten-Free Orange Chicken effortlessly:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  2. Make the Breading: In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free flour and cornstarch. In another dish, beat the eggs.
  3. Dredge Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, coating it evenly. Then toss it in the flour and cornstarch mixture until fully covered.
  4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Fry Chicken: Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Make the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic. Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Combine: Add the crispy chicken to the sauce, tossing well to coat each piece evenly.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a finishing touch.

These straightforward steps ensure that your Gluten-Free Orange Chicken turns out perfectly every time!
