Ingredients
For the Orange Sauce
- 1½ cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Chicken
- 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¼-⅓ cup vegetable oil or canola oil
Instructions
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup and set aside.
- Add the cut pieces of chicken thighs to a bowl and toss with cornstarch until fully coated.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the cornstarch coated chicken to the skillet. Once golden, flip the chicken. It should take around 5 to 6 minutes per side.
- Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook in two batches. Set aside the chicken once done.
- Wipe the skillet clean or use a new skillet and add the homemade orange chicken sauce to the skillet and bring it up to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Once the chicken has almost thickened to your liking, add the crispy chicken to the sauce and toss to coat.
