@foodiligence: The recipes every home cook should know. Ep 3: Spicy Orange Chicken - 2 Chicken thighs, chopped - 1 tbsp Oil - 1 tbsp Cornstarch - 1/2 tsp Garlic powder - 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper - 1/4 tsp Baking powder - To taste: Salt and pepper - Oil: Enough for shallow frying (approx. 1/4 to 1/2 inch) The Sauce - 3 Oranges, juiced - 1/2 cup Sugar - 2 tbsp White vinegar - 2 tbsp Soy sauce - 1 tbsp Sambal oelek - 3 cloves Garlic, grated - 1 inch Ginger, grated - 4–5 Dried Arbol chilies - Slurry: 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water In a bowl, coat the chicken thighs thoroughly with salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, baking powder, oil, and cornstarch. Heat about half an inch of oil in a pan until a wooden chopstick bubbles when inserted, then fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides before draining on a wire rack. In the same pan (emptied of excess oil), toast the arbol chilies briefly, then pour in the whisked sauce ingredients (orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sambal, garlic, and ginger). Let the liquid reduce for 3–5 minutes, stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken into a glossy glaze, and finally toss the crispy chicken back into the pan to coat before serving. #Recipe #cooking #FoodTok #orangechicken #homecook
