Description

Tender, juicy, and very tasty chicken fillet in orange sauce - a beautiful and appetizing dish with an original presentation. Chicken in Asian-style orange sauce is loved by both adults and children, and serving it in orange peels will make it a bright decoration for the festive table.

Instructions

Each orange needs to be cut in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon. It's important for the peel to maintain its shape and remain intact.
Take the scooped-out orange flesh and put it in a blender. Add lemon juice, sugar, ketchup, 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth.
Then, strain this mixture through a sieve.
For the batter, combine 110g of flour, 50g of cornstarch, 1 egg, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a deep bowl. Add water and mix well.
It's most convenient to mix with a whisk until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces, add them to the batter, and mix everything together.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan until hot. Fry the chicken in batches in the batter for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Drain the oil and pour the orange sauce into the skillet. Add the zest of one orange. Stir well. Keep it on medium heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
The sauce is ready! Add the fried chicken pieces to it, and mix everything well. Each piece of meat should be coated in the sauce on all sides.
Transfer the mixture into the orange peels and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. You can lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan. Chicken in orange sauce is a very delicious dish!
