180 grams of cornstarch
240 milliliters vegetable oil
For the Orange Sauce:
240 milliliters orange marmalade
240 milliliters BBQ sauce
30 milliliters soy sauce
Preparation
Step 1) Prepare Chicken
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate it in soy sauce for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Create Egg Wash Coating
Beat together the eggs and milk in a bowl.
Step 3: Make Flour Coating
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and seasoning mix to taste.
Step 4: Coat in Milk and Flour
Dredge the chicken pieces in the egg wash and coat them evenly with the flour mixture.
