Wanna go for a change of flavors, and with an orange in the fridge I've decided to deep-fry the lightly marinated chicken pieces and orange-glazed it.
What you need:
300 g chicken thigh and drum (cut into bite-size pieces)
1/2 tbsp cornflour
Cooking oil (for deep-frying)
Marinade:
1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 thick slices ginger (peeled and smashed)
Orange sauce: (mix together)
1/2 orange juice
1/2 orange zest
1/2 tbsp white vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp sugar (to taste)
3 tbsp water
1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
Cornflour mixture (for thickening sauce)
1/2 tbsp cornflour
1 1/2 tbsp water
Steps of preparation:
- Add the marinade ingredients into the chicken pieces, mix well and leave for at least an hour or more. Just before deep-frying, sprinkle cornflour onto the marinated chicken and mix well to ensure that the chicken pieces are well coated.
- In a deep wok add enough oil for deep-frying. When oil reach medium heat add in the chicken pieces on a single layer and deep-fry until golden, turn over the pieces in between. Remove from heat and repeat until all the chicken pieces are done.
- In a clean medium heated wok, pour in the orange sauce and bring to a slow boil. At this point you can taste for the correct seasoning of your choice.
- Stir in the cornflour mixture bit by bit and give it a good mix, once the sauce thickens add in fried chicken and toss until all the chicken are well coated with the orange sauce.
- Dish and serve immediately to enjoy the crunchiness of the chicken.
