Orange Chicken with Brussels Sprouts step by step
- To prepare the chicken batter.
- Combine the salt, pepper, flour and corn starch together. Mix well..
- Mix in the egg, water and oil until it looks like a pancake batter..
- Add the cubed chicken thighs to the batter, cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes..
- Heat the frying oil inside a wok. I added about a tsp of minced garlic for flavoring..
- Cook chicken for about 6 minutes per batch or until chicken turns slightly brown. I used a fork and placed chicken and batter in a spoon, then dropped in the oil. This way the chicken is well coated and separated from the other chicken pieces..
- Move the cooked chicken onto a plate lined with a paper towel to soak the excess oil..
- Repeat until all chicken is cooked. It is ok to save some chicken in the batter for the next day. Just keep cover and refrigerated..
- Now for the sauce (heh heh heeeehhh)......
- In a sauce pan, heat 2 tbs oil..
- As soon as the oil is hot, add the pepper flakes, garlic and ginger. Stir for about 25 to 30 seconds..
- Incorporate in the white sugar and brown sugar..
- Stir in the orange juice just until the sugars are dissolved completely..
- Stir in the vinegar and soy sauce. Continue stirring for about 30 seconds..
- Whisk in the water and corn starch..
- Once the sauce becomes thick, add the remainder of the orange juice..
- Continue stirring. Sauce should still be thick..
- Add the cooked chicken and coat well..
- I personally like to serve this over brussel sprouts (yea I know yuck, right?). But believe me, they go well together and kids will love it...I did say the kids will actually eat the Brussels sprouts..
- Brussel Sprouts quick and simple recipe, takes about 45 minutes in the oven at 375 degrees..
- Wash and cut Brussels sprouts in half. Place in a baking dish. I used a glass baking dish..
- Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the Brussels sprouts, salt and pepper them. Not too much oil, will defeat the purpose of a healthy dish..
- Mix the Brussels sprouts inside the baking dish and pop in the oven to bake uncovered..
- After I placed the chicken in the fridge, I prepped the Brussels sprouts and placed in the oven. This way everything is done at the same time..
- Serve the orange chicken over the Brussels sprouts..
- Or you can serve the orange chicken with your preference. Enjoy :).
For larger sprouts, I like to cut them in half down the center and blanch them in a large pot of salted boiling.
