Gluten-Free Orange Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe You Must Try
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
- ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- Oil for frying (e.g., vegetable or sesame oil)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture.
- Dip each floured chicken piece into the beaten egg, then return to the flour mixture for extra coating.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.
- In a saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, drain excess oil and return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the thickened orange sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle orange zest over the top, giving the dish an added burst of flavor.
- Allow the chicken to heat through in the sauce, and then remove from heat.
- Consider garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an added touch.
Notes
- Serve with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar in the sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
