Orange Chicken
from: Chicken A L
4 chicken breast halves
1 beaten egg
1 Tbsp water
¼ cup cornstarch
2 Tbsp butter
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup vinegar
1 Tbsp cornstarch mixed in 2 Tbsp water
Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Dip chicken pieces in egg wash made of beaten egg and water, then coat with cornstarch. Heat butter in frying pan and brown chicken in butter until golden brown. Place in baking dish. Heat oven to 350°. Combine remaining ingredients except cornstarch mix in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch slurry as needed to make a thin sauce. Pour over chicken pieces and bake, covered, for 20 minutes, then remove cover and bake another 15 minutes. Serve with ham fried rice or regular rice.
General Tso's Chicken
from: Cody
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium preferred
1 egg, beaten
1 cup cornstarch
1/4 - 2 cups green onions (depending on how well you like onions), sliced
8 small dried chilies, seeds removed
Mix the sauce ingredients from the sauce recipe in a quart jar and set aside.
Mix soy sauce, cornstarch and egg in large bowl to make a cornstarch slurry - the mixture will be strange but trust me it works. It will be VERY thick almost paste like. Add chicken pieces and stir to coat.
Using a fork remove ONE chicken piece at a time and let the excess mixture drip off. Add chicken to the hot (350 degree) oil and fry until crispy. You can use a simple cooking or candy thermometer to judge the temp of the oil. Place cooked chicken pieces on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
In a separate wok or large skillet add a small amount (a Tablespoon or so usually works fine) of oil and heat to 400 degrees. Again, a candy thermometer works great. You can fry all the chicken, drain the oil to the desired amount and use the same pan if you like.
Add green onions and hot peppers and stir fry about 30 seconds.
Stir or shake the quart jar of sauce mixture, and then add to pan with onions and peppers, cook until thick. If it gets too thick, add a little water. The thickness of the sauce should be similar to what you get when ordering this at a restaurant.
Add chicken to sauce in wok, and cook until all is hot and bubbly. The quicker this is done the crispier the chicken stays.
Serve over rice.
General Tso's Sauce
from: Cody
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sherry wine or white wine (If you dont have/use you can put 1/8 cup extra white vinegar and 1/8 cup lemon juice instead)
14 1/2 ounces chicken broth (1 can)
Place sauce ingredients in a quart jar with a lid and shake to mix. If you make this ahead of time just refrigerate until needed, shaking it again when you are ready to use it. This also keeps your dirty dishes down.
