Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend (rice flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch)
  • 1/4 cup potato starch (optional, for extra crispness)
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/4 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend and potato starch (if using).
  • Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a wire rack.
  • In a separate saucepan, whisk together the orange juice, tamari, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
  • Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the fried chicken to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
