 Ingredients:

Chicken:

  - 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  - 1/2 cup cornstarch

  - Salt and pepper to taste

  - Vegetable oil for frying


Orange Sauce:

  - 1/2 cup orange juice

  - Zest of 1 orange

  - 1/4 cup soy sauce

  - 1/4 cup rice vinegar

  - 1/4 cup sugar

  - 2 tablespoons honey

  - 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  - 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

  - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)


Instructions:

1.  Prepare the Chicken:

3.   Make the Orange Sauce:

   - In a separate saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, honey, hoisin sauce, garlic, and ginger.

   - Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

   - Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened.


4.   Combine and Serve:

   - Toss the fried chicken pieces in the orange sauce until they are well coated.
