Instructions

Place the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and garlic in a medium saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring to a low boil. Carefully taste the mixture and add more soy sauce, sugar, or vinegar to suit your taste.
Mix the cornstarch and water in a cup to make a slurry and pour into the sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce begins to thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon. This step can take anywhere from about 30 seconds to a few minutes.
Add fully cooked fried chicken or the meat of your choice and toss to fully coat in the sauce.
Garnish with optional green onions, red pepper flakes, or sesame seeds and serve.
This recipe makes enough sauce to coat 1 pound of chicken.
