Orange Chicken Recipe

Orange-Orange and Orange...Whenever I out for shopping vegetables, i only find Orange.The season is for Orangey, so why not try something with orange. I love to do an experiment with chicken, so the first thing, come into my mind is Orange Chicken. I tasted the dish first in a nearby restaurant in my locality, and from that time I determined to make its own. It is an American Chinese Dish and easily available in all American fast food centers. My hubby loves it too much. So I prepared the dish yesterday, as weekend special dinner.

For making the Orange Sauce, mix 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice with 2 tsp Chinese rice wine, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp white pepper/black pepper powder,1 tsp cornflour,4-5 tsp sugar, 1/2tsp sesame oil (if not available, add sunflower oil), salt (as per your taste).

If the Orange is not very sweet then add more sugar.

Note:Prefer to use white pepper powder instead of black one, it helps to make the color of the dish more orangey.

For Batter, mix 2 tbsp cornflour,4 tbsp all purpose flour,1/2tsp baking soda, 1 Egg, 1tsp oil and pinch of salt. Beat properly so that no lumps remain.
