Ingredients

• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

1. Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks, dip each piece in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in cornstarch.
2. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat and fry chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, then drain on paper towels.
3. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet, then add orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, and garlic powder and stir to combine.
4. Simmer the sauce over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Add the fried chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat every piece evenly with the sauce.
