Instructions to make Best Orange Chicken:
- Dredge chicken in flour and fry lightly until just golden -do NOT use salt- then cover to keep warm and set aside…if you are using bone-in chicken the frying process will take a lot longer and frankly I don't recommend it
- In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice and honey, whisk in the mustard and onion powder and Worcestershire…cook on medium high heat until it begins to bubble
- Make a slurry of the cornstarch and a little cold water, stir into the sauce and continue cooking for a few minutes. You may need to add another teaspoon of slurry -the goal is to thicken the sauce so it coats the back of a spoon
- Add the cooked chicken and turn to coat..I like to let it stay in the sauce long enough to get medium hot
- And there you have it! There is plenty of sauce to both coat the chicken and have enough to drizzle over rice or noodles…ENJOY!! ❤️❤️
