Notes
- Want extra crispy chicken? Double fry it in oil set to 350° and 375° respectively.
- Serve with this easy coconut ginger rice for an authentic flavor.
- Make sure to not overcrowd the chicken in the pan.
- Don't over thicken the orange sauce. The orange sauce should be thick but still slightly runny so that it coats everything nicely.
- Not a fan of frying? No problem. You can bake or air fry the chicken pieces as well.
