STEP 37
Whisk and bring to a simmer. Sauce will still be thin. We will thicken it with a cornstarch slurry. Make the slurry in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
|
STEP 38
Pour the cornstarch slurry slowly into the sauce while whisking sauce. Sauce will thicken slightly at first, and will continue to thicken as sauce simmers.

STEP 41
Add oil. Heat over medium heat. I like to use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is at about 350°. (It should be hot enough to sizzle nicely, but not so hot that it burns your chicken!) Do not cover pan.
|
STEP 42
Carefully add chicken (If you like, use tongs or a spoon to keep hands safely away from oil). Cook chicken in two or three separate batches to avoid overcrowding pan.
|
STEP 43
Turn all chicken pieces half-way through cooking. Cooking times will vary depending on temperature of oil and thickness of chicken pieces. I cook my chicken nuggets for about 4 minutes. (2 minutes each side.)
|
STEP 44
Use slotted spoon to remove chicken when done. Set onto paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

YAY...TIME TO EAT!

SWEET & TANGY GLUTEN FREE ORANGE CHICKEN
Reminder: When measuring out flours, make sure not to scoop your measuring cup into the bag. This will result in too much flour! Instead, pour or spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level off with the back edge of a knife. Whenever possible, measure out your flours by weight. This is the most accurate method.
Ingredients2 lbs. chicken (boneless, skinless chicken breast, approx. 3 large pieces)
Coating: ½ cup white rice flour ¾ cup cornstarch 2 tsp. salt 2 large eggs For Frying: 2 cups oil (or enough for about ½ to 1 in. depth in your pan) Orange Sauce: 2 Tbsp. oil 2 tsp. sesame oil 1 tsp. red pepper flakes 1 Tbsp. garlic, minced ½ tsp. ginger, grated ½ cup granulated sugar ½ cup light brown sugar 2/3 cup orange juice 1/3 cup distilled white vinegar ¼ cup gluten free soy sauce Slurry for thickening: 2 Tbsps. water 3 Tbsps. cornstarch Garnish (optional): Sesame seeds Diced green onion |

Tip: I like to have about an inch of oil to fry in. For my pan, this is about 2 cups of oil. To get the depth of oil that you prefer, your amount of oil may be different, depending on the width of your pan.
Tip: You can customize the sauce to your own taste preference…Do you want it a little sweeter? Less tangy? Hotter? It’s easy to do. Have fun experimenting with the sauce ingredients!
