Step 1:
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Add egg, water, and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and stir to combine (mixture will be like a sticky batter). Add chicken pieces to batter and toss well to coat. Let chicken stand in refrigerator while oil heats.

Step 2:
Pour oil into a deep saucepan filled about 2 inches deep. Heat oil to 375 degrees C (190 degrees F).

Meanwhile, for the sauce heat remaining oil and 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crushed red pepper, ginger, and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar, orange juice, vinegar, and soy sauce and bring mixture to a boil, stirring often.

Step 3:
Combine 3 tablespoons cold water with cornstarch in a small bowl and stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Pour mixture into saucepan and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce to simmer, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Turn heat off and keep warm while chicken is cooking.

Step 4:
Working in batches, add coated chicken pieces carefully to the hot oil. Oil temperature will reduce when food is added. Cook chicken at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over paper towels. Bring oil temperature back up to 365 to 375 degrees F (185 to 190 degrees C) and repeat process with remaining chicken.

Step 5:
Return sauce mixture to medium heat, add more water if necessary if sauce thickens too much. Once hot, add in cooked chicken pieces and toss well to coat. Stir in remaining sesame oil and orange zest and serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

First, let me say that I LOVE this channel. If you're feeling glum and "stuck" in the kitchen, Nicole's contagious encouragement and inspiration will fire you back to life again!! 🎉
I put all my herbs and spices in alphabetical order a long time ago (before it was a "thing" ) because I melted down after doing the "spice jar shuffle " for the last time. All my peppers are under "p" but are alphabetized, i.e., black, cayenne, red, white, etc. Hey, the rest of my life might be cluttered, but don't be messin' with my spices.😂

Panda Express may have been one of the first to sell orange chicken in a chain system, but they were not the first to make this type of recipe. I remember while in the US Navy in the 1960s or 1970s either in the Mediterranean, Hawaii, California, or the Caribbean having a wonderful orange chicken. -can't remember exactly where, but I remember I loved it. Panda Express was founded in the 1980s.
