Ingredients
Sauce:
1 1/2 Cups Water
2 TBSP Orange Juice
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1/3 Cup Rice Vinegar
2 1/1 TBSP Soy Sauce
1 TBSP Grated Orange Zest
1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp Minced Fresh Ginger
1/2 tsp Minced Garlic
2 TBSP Chopped Green Onion
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
3 TBSP Cornstarch
2 TBSP Water
Chicken:
4-5 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (cut into large chunks)
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
3 TBSP Olive Oil
Directions
Pour 1 1/2 cups water, orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce into a saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Stir in the orange zest brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chopped onion, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and cool 10-15 minutes
Place the chicken pieces into a resealable plastic bag. When contents of saucepan have cooled, pour 1 cup of sauce into bag. Reserve the remaining sauce. Seal the bag, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
In another resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the marinated chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat. Put a drying rack over a baking sheet, pour out contents onto drying rack.
Pour the oil into a large pot, making sure the oil does not come more than halfway up the sides. Heat the oil to 375°F on a deep-frying thermometer.
Preheat oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
Working in batches, fry the wings until golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the wings to the paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
Pour the sauce into a skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water; stir into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium low.
Transfer the fried chicken to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and stir to coat evenly. Serve immediately with rice.
