The sweet-tart orange flavor is sure to keep you coming back for more. Frying the chicken first helps the sauce cling beautifully. Why not pair it with drinks tonight?

Instructions
1
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Place in a bowl, add the sake and soy sauce, and rub in well. Add the potato starch (3 tablespoons) and coat evenly.
2
Pour enough vegetable oil into a pot to a depth of about 2 cm and heat to 340°F (170°C). Add the chicken and fry over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through to make the Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken).
3
Add the orange sauce ingredients to a frying pan and mix. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Add the fried chicken and toss to coat evenly to finish the orange chicken.
4
Line a serving plate with green leaf lettuce and arrange the orange chicken on top.

It was easier than I expected. Adding a little extra garlic made it work better as a snack to go with drinks. The sauce took a while to thicken, but once I added the fried chicken and coated it, it turned out nicely.

It was really delicious! It’s a little spicy, so it might be fine even without the chili pepper. My mother thought it tasted a bit sour.

I was amazed that I could turn some not-so-tasty mandarins into not-so-tasty mandarin juice, and then transform that into incredibly delicious orange chicken.
