Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • BUBBL’R Twister Elix’r for serving
  • Basmati Rice for serving
  • 1 cup Fresh Orange Juice
  • 3-4 tbsp. Honey
  • 2 tbsp. Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Fresh Ginger grated or minced
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp. Sesame Seeds
  • 1 tsp. Flour

For the Chicken:

  • 1 ½ lbs. Chicken Thighs boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp. Soy Sauce
  • 1 large Egg beaten
  • 1 Garlic Cloves minced
  • ½ tsp. EACH: Salt & Black Pepper
  • ½ cup Potato Starch
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/3 cup Flour
  • Neutral Frying Oil

Instructions

  • In a large pot with the stovetop heat turned OFF, combine all ingredients for the sauce. Whisk together until smooth, then let be while you prepared the chicken.
  • Bring 2-3” of neutral frying oil to 350F, until glistening.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken cut into bite-sized pieces and corn starch. Mix until chicken is coated.
  • Create a well in the center to add the egg, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix in the center, then incorporate into the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the baking powder and flour over the chicken. Mix well.
  • Working in small batches, fry the chicken bites for 5-6 minutes, until golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a paper towel line baking rack or plate.
  • Once all chicken is fried, fry in small batches again for 1-2 minutes, until deeply golden and crispy. Repeat the slotted spoon and paper towel process.
  • Turn ON the stovetop for the sauce to medium high. Stir until bubbly and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken (if pan is big enough) and toss until well coated in the sauce.
  • Serve with basmati rice and BUBBL’R Twister Elix’r for a complementary drink!
