Shopping List:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
all-purpose seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder)
1 cup corn starch
1/2 cup flour
1 quart buttermilk
oil for frying
green onion
fresno chili
Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
zest and juice of 1 orange
1 tbsp garlic
1 tbsp ginger
2 tbsps honey
Slurry - 1-2 tbsps of water and 1-2 tbsps corn starch
Directions:
Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and season generously. Coat in buttermilk.
Start your sauce by adding sugar, vinegar, water, and soy sauce to a pot and bring to a simmer. Allow this to reduce for 10-12 minutes. Add your orange juice and zest and garlic/ginger. Mix to combine. Add in honey and combine. Mix together your slurry by adding water and corn starch together and then pour into your sauce. (this will help thicken the sauce). Add diced fresno chili
Season corn starch and flour generously and then take the chicken from the buttermilk and place it into the flour, a few at a time, ensuring they are coated evenly. Fry at 350 degrees for 4-7 minutes or until golden brown and 175 degrees internal temp. Coat in your sauce, garnish with green onion and serve.

I never liked any kind of AP seasoning because it was so dang on salty however this is really good! I actually sprinkled it on pizza the other day it makes your food pop, you need this folks! This is what AP seasoning should taste like.

2nd quick fry before the sauce will make them stay crispy in the sauce (and for leftovers). Keep in mind the sauce has sodium already, so don’t over season the chicken and coating.

Oh my goodness. I made this for dinner tonight. My daughter and I love PE’s orange chicken but Lord only knows what all is in it. This is ten times better! So good! I left out the fresno pepper. Doubled the sauce and used some on my vegan daughter’s faux popcorn chicken thingies lol! Jasmine rice and roasted broccoli went with it. So glad I made extra - now I don’t have to cook tomorrow night! This is where I come when I need dinner ideas, because all of your recipes are awesome.

I agree, chicken thighs hold a lot more flavor. I use them all the time. However, I do double fry my chicken if I'm coating it in a sauce. It helps it hold up for leftovers (lunch the next day). Fry at a regular temp first, then increase the temp 25-40 degrees for the next round.

Lord have mercy, but this was to die for. The buttermilk soaked chicken was ridiculously tender, the sauce was the perfect combination of tangy and sweet (I added a little heat with a touch of cayenne pepper). The coating was the perfect amount (not too much..not to little). I just kept waiting for a bad experience somewhere in the meal…it never happened. I was disappointed that I was full and this amazing orangey delicious-deliciousness HAD to be over. I guess that was the only bad experience in the whole meal. And we’re talking about MY cooking!!!!!!! 🥰

My kids call me cheap, that's easy for a 13 & 15 yr old with no concept of money. I'd call myself money smart. My husband & daughter love orange chicken from Panda Express which is expensive, 45 min. away and their portions are small. I don't know how I came across your videos but the crab stuffed salmon hooked me and I've been watching them ever since. I'm eager to try this and many more.
