This Japanese-style orange chicken combines crispy fried chicken with a refined citrus sauce made from fresh orange juice and sushi vinegar. The result is a well-balanced dish with a delicate sweetness and refreshing acidity.

Instructions

Step 1

Mix [A] together in advance.

Step 4

Once the sauce has thickened, add the fried chicken from step 2 and toss to coat.

Step 5

Transfer to a plate and garnish with green onion, white sesame seeds, and red chili powder to taste.
