Method
-
Orange sauce. In a space pan add the orange juice and orange peel. Boil down to 1 cup. Remove the peel and let sit.
-
Whisk the cornflour and soy sauce in a large jug or medium bowl until lump free. Then whisk in the orange cincentrate, and all other sauce ingredients. Set aside.
-
Coat chicken. Mix the chicken pieces with the soy sauce, ginger, pepper and the 2 tablespoons of cornflour in a large bowl. Mix well and let sit. The coating becomes a bit sticky and acts as a glue.
-
Add the 3/4 cup cornflour and 1 cup flour with pepper and salt, and toss to coat each piece, separating as needed (they stick together a bit).
-
Pick up a few pieces and enclose in your fist, to really press the cornflour on. Shake off excess cornflour. This press-and-shake method is highly effective crispy no-fry technique!
-
Shallow-fry until crispy - Heat the oil on high heat in a large deep non-stick pan. The chicken should sizzle straight away when you dip it. Spread half the chicken out, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, using tongs to turn, until deep golden and crispy. Remove onto a paper towel lined tray and repeat with remaining chicken.
-
Sauté - Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the oil and scrape out any loose crispy bits. Return the pan to medium high heat. Sauté garlic until light golden, about 20 - 30 seconds.
-
Thicken sauce - Give the sauce a whisk (to mix cornflour settled on the base) then pour it in the pan. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens into a thick, glossy syrup (honey consistency). Stir in zest.
-
Toss - Put the chicken back into the pan and toss quickly to coat in the sauce. Serve over rice, garnished with green onion.
