Orange Chicken The Pioneer Woman. I made this Orange Chicken on my Food Network show a few weeks ago, and I just realized yesterday that Id never shared the recipe here on my totes cray recipe blog. So yesterday, as I whipped some up for lunch, I took photos and documented the step by step process. For I am a foodblogger. And thats what foodbloggers do. As I explained on the show, wherein I whipped up my girls and my favorite Chinese take out dishes, every Friday when we go to Tulsa to our all day homeschool co op, one of the rewards the girls and I look forward to is a lunch from Panda Express. To three females who live on an isolated ranch, being less than 5 minutes away from drive through Chinese food is enough to keep us going back to co op week after week. My preferences can fluctuate wildly between things like Kung Pao Chicken and Beijing Beefwhatever Im in the mood forand Alexs stay more in the Beef and Broccoli realm.

Orange Chicken Better Than Panda Express Who needs takeout when you can make it better at home chicken SuccessRice ad. Easy peasy.  Then comes all the other good stuff Soy sauce Brown sugar or you can use white sugar or even honey instead Vinegar this is rice vinegar, but you can just use regular white vinegar Sesame oil theres nothing like it in the world A little salt Some red pepper flakes the spice is very nice Some garlic I grated it in with a microplane, but you can just mince it if you prefer The garlic is important in the sauce, so dont skip it. Sorry to be bossy. Next up Fresh ginger, if you can get it. Just cut a piece, slice off the skin And grate it or mince it, just like you did the garlic. Finally, a little orange zest. Orange zest is so purty. And so citrusy. And sozesty. Yum.  Whisk it around until its all combined and heat it over medium low heat until its heated through and barely starting to thicken. Ill say this more than once, but its important Be sure to taste the sauce and add more of whatever your tastebuds want. Some folks like more soy, some like more garlic or ginger, some need a little more salt. I think this sauce is highly personalso just use my quantities as a guide. Now its time to fry the chicken Heat some vegetable or peanut oil I used the latter over medium heat, or until it registers around 3. Then, using tongs, carefully drop individual chicken pieces in so they wont stick together. Youll need to do this in 4 or 5 different batches you dont want to crowd the pan or itll be a royal mess. IMPORTANT If you have small kids in the house, please ALWAYS put pots of hot oil on the back burner. Curious kiddos can reach up and grab handlesand terrible accidents can happenSo hot oil backburner. Thank you for listening to Pioneer Woman. Let the pieces fry for 2 to 3 minutes for the first stage. Theyll be slightly golden, but not dark yet if they browned really quickly, the oils too hot. Take them out And set them on a paper towel lined plate. Keep going until all the chicken has been fried. Then comes the fun part. Grab a batch of the fried chicken from the plate And plunge it back into the hot oil for another minute. This just solidifies the coating and gives it a little more structurewhatever that means. Ha. And truth be told, it would probably be fine just to fry the chicken all the way through during the first frying stage. This is just the way I do it, man. Im old and set in my ways. When the chicken has fried for the additional minute, drain it on a new paper towel. Note that the coating isnt hard and crisp as it would be if youd used a batter its very light. Just right Now its just time to finish up the sauce Combine a little cornstarch With a little water And pour this into the sauce, whisking it to combine. Turn up the heat just long enough to let the cornstarch thicken the sauce Then remove it from the heat And throw in the chicken Quickly toss it around to get the chicken all coated. There is not an abundance of saucejust enough to coat the chicken. I really wanted to drive home the orange, so I grated up some more zest And tossed it in. Quinoa Serving Size. You can see the benefit of the nonstick skillet here all the sauce ends up on the chicken rather than stuck to the pan Now, of course, you can serve the orange chicken with chow mein or fried ricebut its absolutely lovely on its own. One thing a savory side dish like fried rice or noodles can do, though, is provide a counter to the sweetness of the chicken. Food for thought. A little sliced green onion adds a little extra prettinessand flavor, of course. Very flavorful, very citrusy, very good If youre a fan of orange chicken, give this one a try sometime.
