Instruktioner

In a medium-size bowl combine all the ingredients under the “to marinate chicken” section and mix it thoroughly and marinate the chicken for at least 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl combine orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, cornstarch, orange zest, garlic, ginger, red chili flakes, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk it until the sugar dissolves and keep the sauce mixture aside.

Heat a wide skillet; add oil and once the oil is heated add the marinated chicken pieces to it.

Cook on a medium flame for 4-5 minutes and flip the chicken pieces to the next side and cook for 5-6 more minutes until the chicken is cooked perfectly.

Stir in the prepared sauce mixture to the skillet and cook the chicken along with the sauce uncovered for 5 minutes.

The sauce will start to thicken and everything comes together. In this stage add the sesame seeds and green onions.

Serve the orange chicken along with rice and veggies.
