Panda Express Orange-flavored Chicken -from Todd W Low Fat Top Secret Recipes Recipe

	Punkincake / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago This is from Todd Wilburs book "Low Fat Top Secret Recipe", this is actually my full fat version. His way of cooking the chicken is quite gross and not worth the hassle plus it just doesn't taste right. The sauce is great and very close and what you get at the mall....

I fried some chicken similar to this method (General Tso's)the flavor was great. I could have eaten the chicken and did eat some without the sauce and plan to do so in the future. After marinating the chicken in the soy sauce and white pepper I added a beaten egg to the zip lock, then a cup of cornstarch and mixed it until all the chicken was coated. This was a sticky mess (disapointment), but I continued with the recipe and added the cup of oil required. The oil separated the chicken nicely, but the chicken looked gross. I then went on to deep fry it. To my surprise, it fried up beautifully and tasted great (I used skinless and boneless chicken thighs instead of breast...more flavorful). The sauce for the recipe also tasted great, but was too thick.

I used 1c plus 2 T. water and 1/2 cup orange juice. Put corn starch and flour in ziplock, mixed 1 egg in bowl mixed in the marinated chicken then put the chicken in the ziplock and shouck it around then fryed. That's all I changed and it's wonderful. You can also cut the sauce in half or add ahole lot more chicken.
