Instructions

Creating Gluten-Free Orange Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

  1. Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Dredge chicken pieces in this mixture.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together orange juice, gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger until well combined.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Add the dredged chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Stir-Fry the Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the prepared sauce and bring it to a simmer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss until it is well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
  8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  9. Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it hot!

By meticulously following these steps, you will create a dish that is as visually appealing as it is delicious!
